(metadata) in the Details view, Versions And Alternates view, in tooltips, and in the Metadata panel. Bridge is instru­
mental in helping you create and track versions of non-Adobe file types that are in the projects in your Version Cue
Workspace. When you use Bridge to open a file in a project, you can create a Version Cue version even if an appli­
cation doesn't have a Save A Version command. You can manage and use those versions as you would if they were
created from files made by Adobe Creative Suite components.
Working with alternates in Bridge
Bridge to designate files as alternates of each other, or to generate alternates from previous versions of a file. In the
Alternates view, you can see the complete group of alternates that have been designated for a project file as well as
which of these alternates is the primary (preferred) member of the group. A file's inclusion in a group of alternates is
indicated by an icon in all Bridge views as well as by text indications in the Details and Versions And Alternates views.
Alternates don't have to be located within a single folder, and you can use Bridge to add files to an alternates group
no matter where they are located in a project. In Alternates View, it's easy to navigate to the folders that contain alter­
nates. You can remove files from a group of alternates as well as dissolve the group completely in Bridge.
Viewing Workspace, project, and file information
which a particular Version Cue Workspace is located, Bridge indicates the availability of the workspaces and projects
you've accessed by displaying different icons of workspaces and projects. When your Version Cue Workspace is
online, you can view up-to-date status for all files you've created with Adobe Creative Suite components. This helps
you understand whether a file is already in use, or whether another user has created a newer version. Normally, when
you start editing a project file in a Version Cue Workspace, the file's status changes to In Use because you're making
changes to the file. However, you can use Bridge to mark a file In Use without having to open the file. You can cancel
the Mark In Use indication at any time. You can also use Mark In Use to prepare project files for offline editing when
you know you'll be disconnected from a remote Version Cue Workspace. When you come back online, you can use
Bridge to synchronize your files with your workspace once the workspace is available again. For more information
about working with Version Cue, see "Adobe Version Cue" in Help.
