Version Cue maintains relationships between alternates by creating alternates groups, which you can view together
in the Alternates dialog box. You can manually group files into an alternates group by using the Make Alternates
command. You create alternates from files in different folders by dragging them between Bridge windows. Using this
method youcan addfiles from additional folderstothe groupaswell. Thus,analternatesgroup cancontain multiple
files from multiple folders. You can make an alternate the primary, or preferred, alternate in a group. The primary

box that appears in Adobe Creative Suite components and in InCopy (in the Links palette or Open dialog box), the
primary alternate appears at the top of the list in the Alternates dialog box.
You can change the primary alternate and remove alternates from the group by using Bridge or the Alternates dialog
box in Adobe Creative Suite components or in InCopy.
Note: Although you can create many alternates groups, a given file can be included in only one of these groups. Also,
alternates must be located within a single project. Alternates are not available in Acrobat 7.
