If you don't have Adobe Creative Suite, you can gain access to the full Version Cue feature set by participating in
a shared project; that is, if another user on your network installs Adobe Creative Suite and gives you access to a
Version Cue project in a Version Cue Workspace.

Getting the most out of Version Cue
In Version Cue, you create projects that you and other users access through Adobe Creative Suite components.
Projects keep related files together in one place. Version Cue manages the files in these projects. Because Version Cue
works in all Adobe Creative Suite components, your design process isn't interrupted when you work on individual
files within a project.
You can use Version Cue in a single application, such as Photoshop CS2, to track changes to a file as you work on it.
In addition, workgroups or an individual worker can use Version Cue across applications. Multiple users can manage
projects that contain files from all Adobe Creative Suite components. Projects can include non-Adobe files, such as
text documents, billing forms, or spreadsheets. When you keep all managed files related to a project in one place, you
eliminate the task of tracking down important files.
Here's an example of how you might use Version Cue with Adobe Creative Suite: You start by creating a new project
and adding a Photoshop file containing the main image for a printed piece. Then, you add art from Illustrator and
text from InDesign. Next, you add GoLive web elements to leverage your printed content for use in a web page. As
you and your team work on each piece of the project, Version Cue creates versions to keep track of changes. When
it's time to present the project, you create a PDF of each project file and use the Version Cue Administration utility
to set up an online PDF review. Your customers, supervisors, or peer reviewers view and comment on the project
using Acrobat.
Working with Version Cue in GoLive
Version Cue is tightly integrated with GoLive to manage the tasks specific to web page creation. Although you access
Version Cue differently in GoLive than in Photoshop, Illustrator, InCopy, and InDesign, most of the same features
are available.
Working with Version Cue in Acrobat
You access Version Cue from within Acrobat 7 much as you do in the other Adobe Creative Suite components;
however, there are some differences. Most Version Cue features are available in Acrobat 7. For more information on
using Version Cue in Acrobat 7, see Acrobat 7 Help.

About the Adobe dialog box
In Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components (except for GoLive and Acrobat 7) and InCopy CS2, you can use the Adobe
dialog box when you choose the Open, Import, Export, Place, Save, or Save As commands, even if you don't use
Version Cue. The Adobe dialog box displays additional information, including thumbnails, which make it easy to
identify files. You can use the Adobe dialog box when working with both Adobe and non-Adobe files.
