Edit offline files

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

You can edit offline files from an unavailable Version Cue Server by opening offline copies. If you know that you’ll be working with an offline file, you should first check the file out before going offline.

Edit local project files from an offline project

  1. In Acrobat, Flash, InCopy, Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel of the Adobe dialog box and open the project that contains the file you want to edit. It may take Version Cue a few seconds to verify that the Version Cue Server is unavailable.
  2. Double-click the file to open it (the Offline Copy status allows you to open the file).
  3. When you finish editing the file, choose File > Save to save the changes to the local project file. When the Version Cue Server becomes available again, synchronize your files. If the Version Cue Server becomes available while you’re editing an offline file in an Adobe application, Version Cue will automatically mark the file as Checked Out or In Use (Acrobat).

Manually check out a file

If you intend to work on a file from an offline Version Cue Server, you should first manually mark the file as Checked Out before the server goes offline. When you mark a file as Checked Out, Version Cue creates a local project file for you and protects the file from editing by other users.

 Do one of the following:

  • In Bridge, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel, navigate to the file, and click the Check Out button.

  • In Acrobat, Flash, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel of the Adobe dialog box and open the project that contains the file. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the file, and then choose Check Out or Mark In Use (Acrobat). Click Cancel to close the Adobe dialog box.
