Using Version Cue In Golive - Adobe GOLIVE CS2 User Manual

Using Version Cue in GoLive

Creating or opening Version Cue projects
Working with Version Cue projects in GoLive is a bit different than in other Adobe Creative Suite components. In
GoLive, Version Cue projects contain website files. You can create blank Version Cue projects in GoLive, or you can
use existing files, or an existing GoLive site, to create a project. You can also add GoLive site files to an existing
Version Cue project. You work with Version Cue-managed files in the site window, just as you do with non-Version
Cue files.
When you create a Version Cue project in GoLive, the standard GoLive site folders (web-content, web-data, and web­
settings) and a site project file (.site) are created on the Version Cue Workspace. The web-content folder is the root
folder of the website and contains master files that are kept on the Version Cue Workspace.
When you mount or connect to a Version Cue project, a full copy of the project is copied to your computer (the .site
file, web-content, web-data, web-settings folders). This copy ensures that the project is always available on both the
host Version Cue Workspace and your computer. This workflow allows you to publish the site project from either
your local computer or the Version Cue Workspace.
At any time you can synchronize your working copies to the Version Cue project to make sure that they are up to
date. It's important to synchronize on a regular basis to make sure that you always have the latest files from the
Version Cue Workspace.
