Adobe Version

Cue

Adobe Version

Cue® CS4 is an asset management system that lets designers work collaboratively on a set of common

files without having to change their workflow significantly. Designers can easily track and manipulate multiple
versions of files.

Version

Cue handles the following tasks:

Creating versions of your files

Enabling workgroup collaboration (file sharing, version control, the ability to check files in and out)

Organizing files into private or shared projects

Providing thumbnails so you can browse and view files

Organizing data so you can view and search on file information, version comments, and file status

Creating and managing user access, projects, and PDF reviews by way of Version

Cue Server Administration

Version Cue consists of two pieces: the Adobe Version

Cue Server and Adobe Drive.

Adobe Version Cue Server

The Version

Cue Server can be installed locally or on a dedicated computer. It hosts

Version

Cue projects and PDF reviews.

Adobe Drive

Adobe Drive connects to Version Cue CS4 servers. The connected server appears like a hard drive or

mapped network drive in Windows Explorer, Mac OS Finder, and dialog boxes such as Open and Save As.

Note: The “Use Adobe Dialog” option that appears in CS3 applications does not appear in CS4 applications. This option
is no longer necessary. Connecting to the Version Cue Server using Adobe Drive lets you view project files from any
application.

Version Cue is included with Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium and Standard, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web
Premium and Standard, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.

Version

Cue enables versioning and asset management in all applications, but it includes enhanced features for the

following products: Adobe Flash®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe InDesign®, Adobe InCopy®, Adobe Photoshop®, and
Adobe Bridge. When you use any of these applications to edit a file stored on a Version Cue server, the file is checked
out automatically. For all other applications, use the context menu to check in and check out files manually.
