Version
Cue opens the previous version in its native application. The version number appears in the file’s title bar to
remind you that it is not the current version. The file status is Never Saved, because the previous version is only a
snapshot of a previous stage of the file.
Promote a version
Promoting a previous version saves a copy of the previous version as the current version. This process keeps the
previous version intact, should you decide to return to it again in the future. Any changes made between its creation
and promotion don’t appear in the new current version.

Using Version
Cue Server Administration, you can delete multiple previous versions of all files in a project simulta-
neously. By using this method, you can retain past versions by date or by number of versions to keep. See “Advanced
Version
Cue Server Administration tasks” on page 122.
Editing and synchronizing offline files
About offline files
When you need to work on files from a Version
Cue project while the Version
Cue Server is unavailable, you can edit
local project files on your computer. When the Version
Cue Server is available again, you must
synchronize
your files
with the Version
Cue Server to save your latest version to the Version
Cue Server. You can synchronize an entire
project, or just a folder or a file in the project.
To prepare to work with offline files, it’s best to first synchronize the entire Version
Cue project while the server is
still online to ensure that you have local project files. You can then edit the offline files and synchronize them once
the server is back online.
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” on page 85.
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 (see “Manually check out a file,”
below).
