Adobe® Drive 2.0 User Guide
3. To check in a file so that it is available to others, invoke the context menu for the file with right-click (in
Windows) or C
choose More > Adobe Drive 2.0 > Check In.) Type a version comment and click OK.
4. If you check out a file, then drag a new version of the file into a folder that already contains an older
version, you can check in the file to create another version.
If you replace a file that is not checked out, Adobe Drive 2.0 checks it out automatically when you
choose Replace in the conflict-resolution dialog. You must then check the file in to commit a new
version.
Using an integrated Adobe application
If you save a file to a folder using one of the integrated Adobe applications—Photoshop, Illustrator, or
InDesign—you can check in a file to a connected DAM server during the save process.
1. In the application, choose File > Save, File > Save As, or File > Check In.
2. Save the file to the remote folder.
3. Type a version comment and click OK. The file is saved and checked in.
4. If you edit the file, it is automatically checked out to you again. You can then check in another version
by choosing File > Check In. You can also check in the edited file when you close it.

Opening a remote file

You can open a remote file directly in any application using File > Open, the same way you would open any
other file.
If you open a checked-in file and edit it in an integrated Adobe application, the file is checked out
automatically and you can save versions of the file directly from the application UI.
If you open a checked-in file in any other application, an error indicates that you are attempting to
open a file for which you do not have write permission. You must check the file out in a platform file
browser in order to open it, and explicitly check it in to commit any changes that you make.
To open a remote file from Adobe Bridge:
1. Select Adobe Drive in the Favorites panel.
2. Double-click the DAM server in the Content panel.
3. Double-click the folder that contains the file you want to open.
4. Select the file, invoke the context menu, and choose Checkout.
5. Double-click the file to open it.
Adobe Bridge relies on the operating system to know which application to use when opening the file. If
the file opens in the wrong application, open the file directly from within the desired application, or
change the system settings to specify a different default application for the file type.
