To check in a new version of a file, use the Check In or Save A Version (Acrobat) command, which saves your changes
to the Version Cue Server and removes the Checked Out or In Use By (Acrobat) status from the file.

When you check in a version, Version Cue transfers and saves only the changes you’ve made to the file.

You can check in versions of non-Adobe files only if the files are in a Version Cue project and the files have been
opened through Bridge. After you check in versions of non-Adobe files, you can access them from the Versions
dialog box in Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite components and from the Inspector or Content panel in Bridge.

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 panel. After editing the file, save it in its native application. Then, in the Links
panel, select the file and use the Save Link Version command to check in a version in the Version Cue project. For more
information, see InCopy Help, InDesign Help, or Illustrator Help.

View, promote, and delete versions

Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set. See “Accessing Version Cue
features” on page 86.

Versions are treated as separate files, which you can access through the Versions dialog box in all Version Cue-
enabled Creative Suite components or through the Content panel in Bridge. The Versions dialog box and Bridge
display thumbnails of all file versions (numbered sequentially) with comments, dates, and the login name of the user
who created the version.

If you want to compare versions in detail, you can choose to view each version in its native application.

If you want both a previous version and the current version to be available for simultaneous use in a project, save
the previous version as a separate asset.
