About Version Cue projects

Version Cue uses projects to store related files and folders. Projects are stored on Version Cue Workspaces.

If you work independently, you create a project to gather all the files you need and use Version Cue features, such as
versions. In a workgroup, depending on your workflow, you can create one Version Cue project for files that everyone
in your workgroup collaborates on, a different project for files that don’t require collaboration, and yet another
project restricted to specific users.

When you first open a Version Cue project, Version Cue creates a folder named “Version Cue” in your My
Documents (Windows) or Documents (Mac OS) folder, and adds a folder for the project to it. When you open a file
from that project, Version Cue adds a working copy of the file to the project folder. As you edit and save intermediate
changes to your file, you are actually editing in the working copy; the original file on the Version Cue Workspace is
protected.

After you open a Version Cue project, a shortcut to that project appears in the Open or Save dialog boxes. Remote
Version Cue Workspaces also appear in this list after you access them.

Version Cue uses a special folder for each project: the documents folder. When you access the project, Version Cue
automatically opens the documents folder and temporarily displays the project title as the folder name. You’ll also
see the documents folder if you open the working copies folder.
