To save a version

Suite or in a shared workspace. See "Availability of Version Cue features" on page 81 for more information.
To save a new version of a file, you use the Save A Version command, which saves your changes to the Version Cue
Workspace. Versions of a file can be subsequently compared using thumbnails, and viewed, deleted, or promoted
using the Versions command.

Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See "Availability of Version Cue features" on page 81 for more information.
Bridge opens files in their native applications so that you can make changes. You can save versions of non-Adobe
files only if (1) the files are in a Version Cue project and (2) the files have been opened through Bridge. After you
create versions with this procedure, you can access them from the Versions dialog box in Adobe Creative Suite
components, from InCopy, and from the Versions View of Bridge.
1 Start Bridge.
In the Favorites panel, click Version Cue, and then navigate to the project containing the file you want to save as
2
a version.
3 Double-click the file to open it.
When the file opens in its native application, make your changes, and save and close the file.

5 In Bridge, choose Tools > Version Cue > Save A Version.
6 In the Save A Version dialog box, enter comments you want to associate with the version, and then click Continue.
Note: You can save versions of nonembedded graphics, image, and text files in InCopy, InDesign, and Illustrator by using
the Edit Original command in the Links palette. After editing the file, save it in its native application. Then, in the Links
palette, select the file and use the Save Link Version command to save a version in the Version Cue project. For more
information, see InCopy Help, InDesign Help, or Illustrator Help.
