ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8 545 User Guide To save a new version of a file, you use the Save A Version command, which saves your changes to the Version Cue Workspace. 1 Choose File > Save A Version. 2 In the Save A Version dialog box, enter comments you want to associate with this version. 3 Click Save. View and compare versions Versions are always available for you to view and compare. The Versions dialog box displays thumbnails of all file versions alongside comments, dates, and the login name of the user who created the version. Each version is numbered sequentially. You can view any version at any time. You can also promote a version, that is, make a previous version the current one. You can also delete versions if they are irrelevant or if you need to save disk space. When you delete older versions, the version numbers of the remaining versions remain the same. The commenting features of Version Cue maintain a descriptive history of files. Each time you save or promote a version, you can describe what changes you made. This history helps you track changes made at different stages. Also, your version comments are searchable; you can search for a particular word to find a version quickly.
