User Guide
The Version Cue Server stores all versions of a file so you can view earlier versions, promote earlier versions to be
the current version, or delete unnecessary or obsolete versions.
Version control
Version Cue allows multi-user access to files on the Version Cue Server. If two users try to edit a file on the
Version Cue Server, Version Cue institutes version control by notifying the second user that the file is checked out.
Version Cue then lets you decide how to proceed.

Version Cue workflow
Before you begin using Version Cue features, you'll need to install and configure the Version Cue Server, create a
project, and assign users to it.
1. Install and configure the Version Cue Server
When you install Creative Suite 3 Design, Web, and Master Collection editions, a Version Cue Server is installed on
your computer, but is not turned on. You can turn on the server to enable simple file sharing; however, if you want
to share Version Cue-managed assets with a workgroup, you should install it on a dedicated computer accessible to
others on your network.
When you start the server for the first time, you'll be prompted to specify initial server settings, including a system
administrator password, server name and visibility settings, and default user access rights. See "About Version Cue
Server Administration" on page 114.
Configure the server further by specifying settings in Version Cue Server preferences and in Version Cue Server
Administration. See "Version Cue Server Administration" on page 114 and "Advanced Version Cue Server Admin-
istration tasks" on page 123.
2. Create a project and assign users
After you've set up and configured the Version Cue Server, you can create projects and assign users to them. By
default, projects you create in Version Cue are private. You change a project's shared status at any time, and restrict
access to the project, by specifying that users log in when they access the project.
Create projects by using Bridge, the Adobe dialog box, or Version Cue Server Administration. To specify advanced
project properties, such as requiring user login and assigning user access permissions, you must use Version Cue
Server Administration. See "Create projects" on page 96 and "Create and manage projects in Version Cue Server
Administration" on page 119.
