Editing and synchronizing offline files
Editing and synchronizing offline files
When youneed to work on filesfromaVersion Cueproject whilethe VersionCue Workspaceisunavailable on the
network, you can edit working copies on your computer. When the Version Cue Workspace is available again, you
must synchronize your files with the workspace to save your latest version to the Version Cue Workspace. You can
synchronize an entire project, just a folder in the project, or a selected file.
Working copies are normally copied on your computer when you open a project from an online workspace. However,
if you haven’t yet edited the file, you can prepare to work offline by synchronizing the entire Version Cue project, or
just the files you need, while the workspace is still online to ensure that you have working copies.
When you are working offline, you can’t create multiple versions because the Save A Version command is
unavailable.
In Version Cue CS2, if you intend to work on a file offline, you can manually mark the file In Use before you take
your work offline. When you mark a file In Use, Version Cue creates a working copy of the file for you. (You can mark
a file In Use even if you don’t intend to work offline.) Typically, when you’re editing a file, In Use appears when other
users access a file. When a files status is In Use, Version Cue protects the file. When you synchronize your file, the
status of the file returns to Synchronized. Mark In Use is not available in Acrobat 7.
If you have edited an offline file recently, you can open it from the File > Open Recent menu.

To manually mark a file as In Use
Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See “Availability of Version Cue features” on page 29 for more information.
1 Do one of the following:
In Bridge, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel. Navigate to the file. Select one or more files. Right-click
(Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) a file, and then choose Mark In Use.
In Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, choose File > Open. Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel, and
then navigate to the file. Select one or more files. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a file, and then
choose Mark In Use. (Mark In Use is not available in Acrobat 7.)
2 When you finish editing the file offline and the Version Cue workspace is again available, synchronize the file in
Bridge or in any Adobe Creative Suite component. Version Cue automatically creates a new version of the file. If the
workspace becomes available while you still have the file open, simply save a version.
