Working with versions

Versions track changes to a file. Each version is a snapshot of the file at a particular point in time. When you
edit a file from the DAM server, you are editing the last version saved to the DAM Server. When you are
ready to save changes to the DAM server, you check in a version. You do not have to check in a version
every time you save your changes, just when you want to create a snapshot of the file.
You can save comments with versions to help you track changes.
You can promote a previous version to be the current version, letting you recover from unwanted
changes.
You can compare multiple versions of the same file, and delete versions as they become obsolete or to
save disk space.

File status in integrated applications

Files that are managed by Adobe Drive 2.0 are marked with a status icon that describes the state of the file
on the DAM server. When browsing managed files in Drive-integrated applications such as InDesign,
Illustrator or Photoshop, you can see a file's status in the status bar.
A file can have more than one status at once. Possible status value are as follows:
Status
Open
Checked Out By Me
Checked Out By [user name]
Up-to-date
Conflicting
Icon
Description
The file is open on your computer.
You are editing the file. Adobe Drive 2.0 assigns this status
when you make an edit that changes the file's content. You
can mark a file as checked out before you edit it to alert other
users that you intend to change the content.
(This is the Photoshop icon; different icons are used in
InDesign and Illustrator.)
Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new
version.
The latest known version of the file is checked in and
available for editing.
There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are
editing the file.
