                        <p>
                           When you perform the default
installation of Creative Suite&#160;3 Design, Web, and Master
Collection editions, a <dfn class="term">Version&#160;Cue Server</dfn> is
installed on your computer, but is not turned on. Version&#160;Cue
Servers store Version&#160;Cue projects and their related assets.
You access the Version&#160;Cue Server by using Adobe Bridge
or the Adobe dialog box in Version&#160;Cue-enabled Creative
Suite components. You can start the Version&#160;Cue Server
on your computer or, optimally, install and run the Version&#160;Cue
Server on a dedicated computer accessible to others on your network.</p>

                        <p>When
you first turn on the Version&#160;Cue Server, you’ll be prompted
to specify initial server settings, including a system administrator
password, server name and visibility settings, and user account
creation settings.</p>

                     </div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Version&#160;Cue Server Administration</h4>
                        
                        <p>Once
you’ve installed and turned on the Version&#160;Cue Server,
use <dfn class="term">Version&#160;Cue Server Administration</dfn> to set
up users, create projects and edit their properties, create and
administer PDF reviews, and configure the Version&#160;Cue Server. </p>

                     </div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Version&#160;Cue projects</h4>
                        
                        <p>Version&#160;Cue
uses <dfn class="term">projects</dfn> to store related files and folders. Projects
are stored on Version&#160;Cue Servers. Projects store the master
copies of files added to the project, as well as file metadata such
as version information and comments.</p>

                     </div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Local project files and server versions</h4>
                        
                        <p>
                           <dfn class="term">Local
project files</dfn> are created on your hard drive when you open
and edit a file from a Version&#160;Cue project (Version&#160;Cue
marks the file as checked out by you). As you work with the local
project file, you save changes to it by choosing File&#160;&gt; Save.
This updates the local file on your hard drive, but not the file
on the Version&#160;Cue Server.</p>

                        <p>When you’re ready to check
in the local project file changes back to the Version&#160;Cue
Server, you create a <dfn class="term">version</dfn> by using the Check In
command. Versions represent a snapshot of the file at a given time. </p>

                        <p>The
Version&#160;Cue Server stores all versions of a file so you
can view earlier versions, promote earlier versions to be the current
version, or delete unnecessary or obsolete versions.</p>

                     </div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Version control</h4>
                        
                        <p>Version&#160;Cue allows
multi‑user access to files on the Version&#160;Cue Server. If
two users try to edit a file on the Version&#160;Cue Server,
Version&#160;Cue institutes <dfn class="term">version control</dfn> by
notifying the second user that the file is checked out. Version&#160;Cue
then lets you decide how to proceed. </p>
