Create and structure a site

Adobe GoLive CS2 makes it easy to create complex, multipage websites using the Site Creation Wizard and the site diagram feature. The Site Creation Wizard walks you through the process of setting up a new website, and the site diagram feature lets you quickly prototype the site, and then convert the prototype to actual pages.

In the steps that follow, you’ll use the Site Creation Wizard, diagramming tools, and the site window to create a new single-user website with multiple pages and folders.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

1. Create a new blank site.

Start GoLive and choose File > New. Choose Site > Create Site to open the Site Creation Wizard. Select Blank Site, and click Next. Enter a name for the site in the Name box, and then click Browse to specify a location on your hard drive to store the site files and folders. Click Next. Select Don’t Use Version Control in the Use A Version Control System window, and click Next (you may want to specify version control settings later, especially if you’re working on the site as part of a team). Select Specify Server Later in the Publish Server Options window (you can set options for publish servers after you’ve set up the site), and then click Finish to create the new site. That’s all there is to creating a new site.

GoLive creates a project folder on your hard drive. The project folder contains the site’s project file, a web-content folder, which contains an index.html file, a web-data folder, and a web-settings folder, which GoLive uses to manage the site and its assets.

2. Create a diagram and add a page.

With thesitewindowactive, choose Diagram > NewDiagram andenter adiagram name in theNew Diagramdialog box to create a new diagram. Click the Diagrams tab of the site window and double-click the diagram you just created. Drag a Page icon from the Diagram set of the objects toolbox to the design view to add a new page named untitled.html. Click the page’s name, and then enter a new name, such as Products.html.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

3. Add new child pages.

With the page in the design view selected, choose Diagram > New Pages. In the New Pages dialog box, enter the number of newchild pagestocreateand abasefilenamefor thenew pages. Forexample,enter 4tocreatefourpages, and then enter Models in the Filenames box to add pages named Models.html, Models1.html, Models2.html, and Models3.html. Click Create.

4. Anchor the diagram to a page in the site.

Drag the index.html page from the Files tab of the site window to the design view. Index.html becomes an anchor page in the diagram and is indicated by an anchor symbol.

Anchoring the diagram specifies the diagram’s location in the site’s hierarchy.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

5. Submit the diagram to the site.

Choose Diagram > Staging > Submit All. GoLive converts the diagram’s pages to HTML pages in the site. In the Files tab of the site window, you can see the new pages in the site.

6. Structure the site.

Organize your pages and images in separate folders so that you can keep track of files and update them easily. With the Files tab of the site window active, click the Create New Folder button in the toolbar. Rename the new untitled folder Pages. You’ll place all your HTML pages in this folder. Click in an empty area of the Files tab and click the Create New Folder button. Rename the new folder Images. You’ll place all your images in this folder. Select Products.html and its child pages (models.html, models1.html, etc.), and drag them into the Pages folder (Shift-click to select multiple files).

If your site is very complex, you may want to create subfolders within these folders to easily organize your files. Whenever you move, rename, or add pages, or create a new folder in the Files tab, GoLive automatically makes the change in the site’s web-content folder.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

Design and lay out a web page

Adobe GoLive makes it easy to design and lay out visually compelling web pages. You can create simple or complex professional-quality web pages without writing any code.

Once you’ve designed your page,you cansaveitasapage template.New pagescreated from apagetemplateremain linked to the template—when you change the template, GoLive automatically updates the pages without affecting any content that has been added to them.

1. Set page dimensions and add a CSS layout object.

Open a site, choose File > New, and then select Web > Pages > HTML Page. (For information about creating a site, see “About GoLive sites” on page 145.) Choose 720 x * from the Status Page Dimensions menu at the bottom center of the document window to display the current page at 720 pixels wide, the standard width for 17-inch monitors. (If the page dimension doesn’t appear at the bottom of the document window, choose Show > Page Dimensions from the menu.) Drag one of the CSS layout ob

jects from the CSS set of the objects toolbox to the page. Adjust the height and width of the columns, rows, frames, or boxes of the CSS layout object as desired in the CSS Object Inspector.

Setting a default page size helps prevent you from adding objects, such as large graphic banners, that are too wide to display on a standard page. CSS layout objects let you create liquid layouts that adjust to the new size when a user resizes a web browser window (for more information about CSS layout objects, see

“About CSS layout objects” on

page 245).

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

2. Add a background color to the page.

Click the Show Page Properties icon in the upper right corner of the document window. In the Page tab of the Page Inspector, select Background Color and click the lower right corner of the color field. Choose a background color for your page from the swatches that appear, or choose a swatch library from the list and then click the corner of the color field again to choose a background color from those swatches.

You can apply a color or an image to the background of your page to visually enhance it. Although colors that you choose for page backgrounds override the default colors used by most web browsers, viewers can change browser preferences to override your page background colors. You can also select an image for the page background, but keep in mind that web browsers treat the image as a tile and repeat it to cover the entire page.

3. Add and format text.

Click inside the CSS layout object to create an insertion point and type some placeholder text. On the toolbar, click the Align Center

button, and then choose Heading 2 from the Set Paragraph Format menu.

In GoLive, you can format text in a variety of ways: use paragraph styles, such as Header 1 and Header 2, to format paragraphs; use physical styles, such as Bold and Italic, to emphasize text; and use structural styles, such as Emphasis and Strong, to both emphasize and classify text. (For more information about formatting text, see “Methods of formatting text” on page 292.) You can also apply fonts, type sizes, and color to text using CSS (cascading stylesheets), which contain a set of stylistic rules that describe how HTML documents should appear to viewers. If you need to update a CSS style, you simply edit the style rule and all content that hosts the style will automatically reflect the new properties. For more information about CSS, see “About cascading stylesheets” on page 318.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

4. Add a Smart Object.

Drag a Smart Generic icon from the Smart set of the objects toolbox to the CSS layout object. Select the icon in the document window, and click the Browse button in the Source section of the Basic tab of the Smart Generic Image Inspector to navigate to a JPEG file on your hard drive (Smart Generic objects also support a variety of other image formats. See “Adding Smart Objects” on page 360for more information.) Choose options in the Save For Web dialog box, and then save the target file in your site’s web-content folder. (Don’t worry if you don’t have a JPEG file; you can link an image file to the Smart Generic object in the document window at any time.)

When you use Smart objects, you create a link to a source file in a format such as Photoshop, Illustrator®, PDF, or EPS, and then GoLive creates a target file in a web-optimized format. GoLive maintains the link to the source file. When you move, resize, or reoptimize a Smart Object, you’re manipulating the target file—the source file doesn’t change. This workflow lets you generate multiple image variations from a single source file.

5. Save the file as a page template.

Choose File > Save As, and choose Templates from the Site Folder menu. Type a name for the template in the Save As dialog box, and click Save.

Page templatesare predesignedpagelayoutsthatyou canuse as thebasis fornew pages. Youcan mark regionsofthe page as editable: any part of the template that isn’t marked as an editable region is automatically locked. When you update a template, you automatically update all pages based on that template. For more information about templates,

Create and manage links

In this tutorial you’ll create navigational links from which viewers can jump to other pages in your site (internal links) or to other sites on the web (external links).

Adobe GoLive’s powerful site management features make it easy to maintain links between pages, and because GoLive collects and updates URLs in the External tab of the site window, you can quickly create links across the web.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

1. Create an internal link.

Open a GoLive site, and then open the page that you want to serve as the source of the link. Select a short block of text and click the Create Link button in the toolbar. In the Text Inspector, drag the pick whip to the destination page in the site window.

You can also create internal links by using the Browse button in the Text Inspector to locate a page, or by typing the relative path to the page in the URL box in the Inspector. It’s best, however, to use the pick whip when creating links to avoid mistakenly linking to pages outside of the site’s web-content folder.

2. Test the link.

Clickthe PreviewInBrowser button in thetoolbar to previewthe page with thelinkinyourweb browser. Click the link and make sure that the destination page appears in the browser window.

3. Update the internal link.

With the Files tab of the site window active, click the Create New Folder button in the toolbar. Drag the link’s destination page into the new folder. GoLive displays the Move Files dialog box, which lists the page that serves as the source of the link, and prompts you to update the file. Click OK.

GoLive updates links in your site when you move or rename files in the site window. To avoid broken links in your site, perform all such site management tasks in the GoLive site window, not directly in your site’s web-content folder in Microsoft Windows® Explorer or the Mac OS® Finder.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

4. Add a URL to the External tab of the site window.

Drag the URL icon from the Site set of the objects toolbox to the External tab of the site window. Rename the untitled URL Adobe URL. Type http://www.adobe.com in the URL box of the External Inspector.

The External tab of the site window contains URLs and e-mail addresses. Storing a URL in the External tab is useful when you want to use the URL on more than one page in your site. If you later need to update a URL in the External tab, GoLive automatically updates it wherever it appears in the site.

5. Create an external link.

Open the page that you want to serve as the source of the link. Select a short block of text, and click the Create Link button in the toolbar. In the Text Inspector, drag the pick whip to the Adobe URL in the External tab of the site window.

6. Test the link.

Clickthe PreviewInBrowser button in thetoolbar to previewthe page containing thelinkinyourweb browser. Click the link and make sure that the Adobe website appears in the browser window.

7. Update the external link.

Select the Adobe URL in the External tab of the site window. Type http://www.adobe.com/products/golive/main.html in the URL box of the External Inspector, and then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). GoLive displays the Change Reference dialog box, which lists the page that serves as the source of the link, and prompts you to update the file. Click OK to update the reference.

GoLive provides other tools for updating internal and external links. For example, to edit links sitewide, use the In & Out Links palette or the Change References dialog box (see “Changing all site URLs or links at once” on page 232).

Publish a site

Before visitors can view your website, you need to transfer it to a publish server (a server that hosts your site files, such as an FTP server). This tutorial demonstrates how to use GoLive to transfer your site files to a publish server for the first time. Before you start this tutorial, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine the settings you’ll need to access the publish server, including the publish server address, the server’s protocol, the location of your directory on the publish server, and your user name and password.

GoLive makes it easy to transfer your site to a publish server with the Publish Server tab in the site window. Once you’ve transferred a site, updating it is easy using modified-item uploads and synchronized uploads. GoLive takes the guesswork out of determining which files need updating by comparing the modification dates of local files with those on the server.

1. Configure a publish server.

Open a site and choose Site > Publish Server > Set Up Server (if you’ve already set up a server for a site, choose Site > Publish Server > Settings). Click the New Server button in the Site Settings dialog box and type an easily recognizable nickname for your server in the Nickname box (nicknames prevent confusion if you add more than one server to the list). Choose a protocol from the Protocol menu and fill in the Server, Directory, Username, and Password boxes based on the publish server information you obtained from your ISP; then click OK. (Click Advanced to configure advanced FTP options, such as security.)

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

Once you’ve configured a publish server in GoLive, you can use it for any site by clicking the Add To Favorites button in the Publish Server section of the Site Settings dialog box. If you change information about the publish server, GoLive updates all sites that use that server.

2. Connect to the publish server.

Click the Connect To Publish Server button in the toolbar. GoLive brings the Publish Server tab in the site window to the front.

3. Upload a new file.

In the Files tab of the site window, select the file you want to upload and choose Site > Publish Server > Upload Selection (don’t select the home page of the site—you’ll delete this file later in the tutorial). GoLive uploads the file and displays it in the Publish Server tab.

You can use the Publish Server command to upload selected files, all files in your site, or only new files and files that have been modified locally since the last upload.

4. Upload a modified file.

In the Files tab of the site window, select and open the file you uploaded in step 3. Make a change to the file, and then save andclose it.Click theUploadModifiedFiles button

on thetoolbar (if thebuttontooltip readsUploadAll or Upload Selection, click the triangle at the lower right of the button and choose Upload Modified Command from the Change Button To menu). In the Upload dialog box, note that the file you’ve just modified is marked with a green arrow, meaning GoLive will upload it to the publish server. Click OK to perform the modified-item upload.

When GoLive uploadsfiles,itsaves themodificationtimefor thelocal site filesand thefiles on theserver. When you perform a modified-item upload, GoLive compares the modification times and transfers only new files and files that have been modified locally since the last upload.

5. Synchronize all files in the site.

In the Files tab of the site window, select the file you uploaded in step 3, and then click the Delete Selected Item button in the toolbar. Click Yes to confirm the deletion. Click the Synchronize With Publish Server button

on the toolbar. The Synchronize dialog box appears and displays files on the local site and on the publish server. The file you deleted locally is marked with a Delete icon

. If you want to assign a different synchronization action to the file (or to any other file listed in the Synchronize dialog box), select the file and cycle through the synchronization actions by clicking the Synchronization Action icon displayed in the column next to the file. Click OK to delete the file from the publish server and synchronize the site.

Synchronizing a site ensures that the local site and the site on the server match. When you synchronize a site, you canuploadfiles to thepublish server,downloadthemfromthe server to thelocal site, skip filescompletely, or delete them.You canexclude filesfromuploadbysetting theirpublish statetoNever in theFileInspector.(See“Assigning publish states to files and folders” on page 240.)

To save and delete Bridge workspaces

You can save the current Bridge layout (that is, the work area configuration) as a workspace and reuse it later. By saving Bridge in various configurations, you can work in (and quickly switch between) different layouts of the work area. For instance, you might use one workspace to sort new photos and another to work with Adobe InDesign files.

Note: A Bridge workspace is different from a Version Cue Workspace. Your work in Bridge workspaces has no effect on Version Cue Workspaces.

❖ Choose Window > Workspace, followed by one of these commands:

Save Workspace Saves the current Bridge layout as a workspace so that you can reuse it later, even if you move a

panelorchange theviewinthe contentarea. If youchoosethiscommand, enteraname forthe workspaceand click Save. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the workspace and specify whether to save the location of the Bridge window as part of the workspace.

Delete Workspace Deletes the saved workspace. If you choose this command, choose the workspace from the

menu, and click Delete.

Use A Centralized Cache File Places the two cache files created for each folder you view in a centralized folder. A

centralized cache is generally easier to use than a distributed cache. For instance, when the cache is centralized, you don’t have to search in multiple, distributed locations if you want to remove the cache. To specify a new name or location for this centralized cache folder, click Choose.

Use Distributed Cache Files When Possible Places the two cache files created for each folder you view in the

viewed folder,ifpossible. Forinstance, it’s notpossibletoplace thecache filesinthe viewed folder if that folder is on a burned CD. In that case, Bridge places the cache files in the centralized folder instead. However, if you are burning a CD, using a distributed cache means that you don’t have to export the cache to the CD, because it is already in the

folder you are burning to the CD. Also, using distributed cache files preserves the cache in a folder if you rename that folder. See

To work with the cache in Bridge

The cache stores thumbnail, metadata, and file information to shorten loading times when you return to a previously viewed folder. However, storing the cache takes up disk space.

Note: Purging the cache deletes the metadata cache and thumbnail cache. If the metadata can’t be written to a file, label and rating information is lost as well.

❖ Choose any of the following commands from the Tools > Cache submenu:

Build Cache For Subfolders Builds, as a background process, a cache for the selected folder and all the folders

within it (except aliases/shortcuts to other folders), shortening the time spent waiting for the cache to be displayed as you look in subfolders.

Purge Cache For This Folder Clears the cache for the selected folder. This command is useful if you suspect that the

cache for a folder is old and needs to be regenerated.

Purge Central Cache Clears the entire centralized cache and any distributed cache in the currently viewed folder,

freeing room on the hard drive. The command does not otherwise clear local caches.

Export Cache Exports the cache, allowing you to burn a CD with the cache already generated. Because the folder

cache is written into the folder, the thumbnail cache and metadata cache are available after you burn the CD. This option is active only if you chose Use A Centralized Cache File in the Preferences dialog box.

Metadata in Bridge

About metadata

Metadata is information about the file, such as its author, resolution, color space, copyright, and keywords applied to it. You can use metadata to streamline your workflow and organize your files. This information is stored in a standardized way using the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) standard on which Adobe Bridge and the Adobe Creative Suite applications are built. XMP is built on XML, and in most cases the information is stored in the file so that it isn’tlost. If it is notpossibletostore theinformation in thefileitself, XMP metadata is stored in aseparatefile called a sidecar file.

Many of the powerful Bridge features that allow you to organize, search, and keep track of your files and versions depend on XMP metadata in your files. Bridge provides two ways of working with metadata: through the Bridge Metadata panel and through the File Info dialog box. These methods provide different views into the XMP metadata stored in the file. In some cases, multiple views may exist for the same property; for example, a property may be labeled Author in one view and Creator in another, but both refer to the same underlying property. Even if you customize these views for specific workflows, they remain standardized through XMP. The Advanced view in the File Info dialog box displays the fundamental values being stored.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

Metadata that is stored in other formats, such as EXIF, IPTC (IIM), GPS, and TIFF, is synchronized and described with XMP so that it can be more easily viewed and managed. Other applications and features (for example, Adobe Version Cue) also use XMP to communicate and store information such as version comments. For instance, when yousaveafile in VersionCue,you mightadd thecomment that yourotated thefilewhenyou worked on it.Later on, you could use Bridge to navigate to that Version Cue project and search for the term “rotate” to locate that file.

In most cases the metadata remains with the file even when the file format changes, for example, from PSD to JPG. Metadata is also retained when those files are placed in an Adobe InDesign layout.

You can use the XMP Software Development Kit to customize the creation, processing, and interchange of metadata.

Forexample,you canuse theXMP SDKtoadd fields to theFileInfodialogbox.MoreinformationonXMP andthe XMP SDK is available from the Adobe Solutions Network (

www.adobe.com/xmp

About the Metadata panel in Bridge

From the Metadata panel, you can view and edit the metadata for selected files, use metadata to search for files, and use templates to append and replace metadata. Metadata preserves information about the contents, copyright status, origin, and history of documents. Version Cue uses metadata to manage files.

You can specify the types of metadata displayed in the Metadata panel.

Note: If you have applied metadata to an Adobe Acrobat® PDF file, some keywords may not appear; however, these keywords are still attached to the PDF file.

Depending on the selected file, the following types of metadata appear in the Bridge Metadata panel:

File Properties Describes the characteristics of the file, including the size, creation date, and modification date.

IPTC Core Displays editable metadata. You can add captions to your files as well as copyright information. IPTC

Core is a new specification that was approved by IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) in October 2004. It differs from the older IPTC (IIM, legacy) in that new properties have been added, some property names have changed, and some properties have been deleted. You can display the older IPTC (IIM, legacy) metadata by selecting it from the Metadata options in the Preferences dialog box.

IPTC (IIM, legacy) Displays editable metadata. As with IPTC Core, you can add captions to your files as well as

copyright information.This set of metadata is hidden by default, because it has been superseded by IPTC Core. However, you can choose it by selecting it from the Metadata options in the Preferences dialog box.

Fonts Lists the fonts used in Adobe InDesign files.

Swatches List the swatches used in Adobe InDesign files.

Camera Data (Exif) Displays information assigned by digital cameras. EXIF information includes the camera

settings used when the image was taken.

GPS Displays navigational information from a global positioning system (GPS) available in some digital cameras.

Photos without GPS information don’t have GPS metadata.

Camera Raw Displays settings applied by the Camera Raw plug-in.

Edit History Keeps a log of changes made to images with Photoshop.

Adobe Stock Photos Lists information about images obtained from Adobe Stock Photos.

Version Cue Lists any Version Cue version information about the file.

Note: Depending on the applications you are using, custom panels for various properties may appear here as well.

Using Version Cue with Bridge

Working with Version Cue in Bridge

Adobe Bridge and Version Cue work together to give you an intuitive way to access and manage Version Cue files and projects.

Bridge provides comprehensive visualization of and centralized command over all aspects of Version Cue files and projects. You can use Bridge to access Version Cue Workspaces, create a project in any of those workspaces, and create a project folder hierarchy. You can drag files into project folders and drag files from a project folder into nonproject folders on your hard drive. You can also copy and move files within and between project folders.

The search capabilities of Bridge enable you to locate project files using file information such as version comments, or keywords or fonts contained in your files. You can view files that have been deleted (but not permanently deleted) in projects and you can restore deleted files using Bridge.

Working with versions in Bridge As yousaveversionsofproject filesastheyevolve, youcan usethe Versions View

in Bridge to see all previous versions of the files, delete previous versions, and promote previous versions. You can get information not only about the current version of a file, but also about the version comment for each previous version without having to open the files in their native applications. However, if you need to view a previous version in more detail, you can use Bridge and Version Cue to open that version. You can view Version Cue file info

(metadata) in the Details view, Versions And Alternates view, in tooltips, and in the Metadata panel. Bridge is instrumental in helping you create and track versions of non-Adobe file types that are in the projects in your Version Cue Workspace. When you use Bridge to open a file in a project, you can create a Version Cue version even if an application doesn’t have a Save A Version command. You can manage and use those versions as you would if they were created from files made by Adobe Creative Suite components.

Working with alternates in Bridge Bridge also makes it easy to work with Version Cue alternates. You can use

Bridge to designate files as alternates of each other, or to generate alternates from previous versions of a file. In the Alternates view, you can see the complete group of alternates that have been designated for a project file as well as which of these alternates is the primary (preferred) member of the group. A file’s inclusion in a group of alternates is indicatedbyaniconinall Bridge viewsaswellasbytextindications in theDetails andVersionsAnd Alternates views. Alternates don’t have to be located within a single folder, and you can use Bridge to add files to an alternates group no matter where they are located in a project. In Alternates View, it’s easy to navigate to the folders that contain alternates. You can remove files from a group of alternates as well as dissolve the group completely in Bridge.

Viewing Workspace, project, and file information Because you may not always be connected to the network on

About Adobe Stock Photos

Welcome to Adobe Stock Photos, the newest way to view, try, and buy royalty-free images from leading stock libraries. With Adobe Stock Photos, you won’t have to interrupt your design process to find quality images. Instead, from inside your favorite applications, you can use the powerful search capabilities of Adobe Stock Photos to find and download images.

From Bridge, the Favorites pane gives you quick access to these stock images. With your computer connected to the Internet, simply click the Adobe Stock Photos icon to start browsing thousands of available images. Because of the tight integration between Stock Photos and Adobe Creative Suite components, you can download images from Adobe Stock Photos directly into your Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive projects. From Photoshop, you can open any downloaded image.

In the design process, you need the flexibility to try different images before deciding which one you want. Adobe Stock Photos gives you the option to download low-resolution, complementary (comp) versions of images you’re considering. You can work with the comps until you make your final decision, at which point you can purchase and download a high-resolution image.

For maximum convenience, you can open an account with Adobe. The benefit of opening an account is that you enter your personal information only once, greatly simplifying the checkout process. You can also look back at previous purchases, and even download photos again after you purchase them.

Comp images

About comp images

Comp images are free, nonwatermarked, low-resolution versions of stock photos that you can download to use in mock-ups or other preliminary work. You can use comps to capture a feeling, idea, or concept before choosing the final image for a project. Comps are not licensed for production, but you can use them in mock-ups or other preliminary work. Because comps are low-resolution images, they’re not suitable for printing or publishing. After an evaluation period, you can purchase a high-resolution version of the image to continue working with the photo.

Metadata is bundled with comp images. This metadata is read by Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and GoLive, and is used in each application to recognize images as stock photos, even if you rename them. Metadata allows you to purchase high-resolution versions of images later, even after you move a comp to a project folder or create other versions of the image. If you are about to send the photo to be printed, InDesign and Illustrator display a warning that you are using a comp image.

You can view your downloaded comps by clicking Downloaded Comps in the Favorites pane, or you can navigate to the default folder where comps are saved: My Documents/AdobeStockPhotos (Windows) or Documents/AdobeStockPhotos (Mac OS). You can move downloaded comps to any folder you want. To delete a comp in the Stock Photos window, right-click it and then choose Send To Recycle Bin (Windows) or Control-click it and choose Move To Trash (Mac OS).

For more information on using comps, see the terms of service (TOS), which describe when and for how long you can use a comp. A Terms Of Service link is available on the main Adobe Stock Photos screen.

Chapter 6: Adobe Version Cue

Using Adobe Version Cue

Version Cue managed projects

Adobe Version Cue® is an innovative set of features designed to increase your productivity when you work alone or collaborate with others. Version Cue integrates design management into your existing workflows within and across Adobe Creative Suite components, including Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe InDesign CS2, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe GoLive CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7, and Adobe Bridge. You can also work with Version Cue in Adobe InCopy CS2.

Version Cue streamlines the following tasks in Adobe Creative Suite:

• Creating historical versions and branched alternates of your files.

• Maintaining file security.

• Organizing files into private or shared projects.

• Browsing with file thumbnails, and searching file information and version comments.

• Reviewing file information, comments, and file status in private and shared projects while you browse.

In addition, you can use the Version Cue Workspace Administration for more advanced tasks:

• Initiating and managing online reviews of PDF documents.

• Duplicating, exporting, backing up, and restoring projects.

• Viewing information about projects in the Version Cue Workspace.

• Importing files to the Version Cue Workspace using FTP or WebDAV.

• Deleting file versions in batches and removing file locks.

• Creating a roster of project users and defining their project privileges.

• Restricting access to a specific project.

Availability of Version Cue features

Different Version Cue features are available in different environments:

• If you use Adobe Creative Suite, you have access to the full set of Version Cue features, including Version Cue

Administration.

• If you use only one component of Adobe Creative Suite, or if you use InCopy and not Adobe Creative Suite, you

have access to thefeaturesofthe Adobedialogbox only.You canuse Bridge,ratherthanthe Adobedialogbox,for file browsing.

Note: Acrobat 7 and GoLive access Version Cue features differently than other Adobe Creative Suite components and don’t use the Adobe dialog box.

• If you don’t have Adobe Creative Suite, you can gain access to the full Version Cue feature set by participating in

a shared project; that is, if another user on your network installs Adobe Creative Suite and gives you access to a Version Cue project in a Version Cue Workspace.

“Getting the most out of Version Cue” on page 72

Getting the most out of Version Cue

In Version Cue, you create projects that you and other users access through Adobe Creative Suite components. Projects keep related files together in one place. Version Cue manages the files in these projects. Because Version Cue works in all Adobe Creative Suite components, your design process isn’t interrupted when you work on individual files within a project.

You can use Version Cue in a single application, such as Photoshop CS2, to track changes to a file as you work on it. In addition, workgroups or an individual worker can use Version Cue across applications. Multiple users can manage projects that contain files from all Adobe Creative Suite components. Projects can include non-Adobe files, such as text documents, billing forms, or spreadsheets. When you keep all managed files related to a project in one place, you eliminate the task of tracking down important files.

Here’s an example of how you might use Version Cue with Adobe Creative Suite: You start by creating a new project and adding a Photoshop file containing the main image for a printed piece. Then, you add art from Illustrator and text from InDesign. Next, you add GoLive web elements to leverage your printed content for use in a web page. As you and your team work on each piece of the project, Version Cue creates versions to keep track of changes. When it’s time to present the project, you create a PDF of each project file and use the Version Cue Administration utility to set up an online PDF review. Your customers, supervisors, or peer reviewers view and comment on the project using Acrobat.

Working with Version Cue in GoLive

Version Cue is tightly integrated with GoLive to manage the tasks specific to web page creation. Although you access Version Cue differently in GoLive than in Photoshop, Illustrator, InCopy, and InDesign, most of the same features are available.

Working with Version Cue in Acrobat

You access Version Cue from within Acrobat 7 much as you do in the other Adobe Creative Suite components; however, there are some differences. Most Version Cue features are available in Acrobat 7. For more information on using Version Cue in Acrobat 7, see Acrobat 7 Help.

About the Adobe dialog box

In Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components (except for GoLive and Acrobat 7) and InCopy CS2, you can use the Adobe dialog box when you choose the Open, Import, Export, Place, Save, or Save As commands, even if you don’t use Version Cue. The Adobe dialog box displays additional information, including thumbnails, which make it easy to identify files. You can use the Adobe dialog box when working with both Adobe and non-Adobe files.

Note: In InDesign, if you deselect Always Save Preview Images With Documents in either the File Handling preferences or the Save As dialog box, you won’t see thumbnails for InDesign files in the Adobe dialog box or in Bridge.

By default, when you choose the Open, Import, Export, Place, Save, or Save As commands, the operating system (OS) dialog box appears. To use the Adobe dialog box instead and set it as the default, click Use Adobe Dialog. Use the View menu options to customize the display. You can change back to the OS dialog box at any time by clicking Use OS Dialog.

What’s new in Version Cue CS2

In addition to enhanced performance and reliability, here are some key new features in Version Cue CS2:

Integration with Adobe Bridge View Version Cue projects, work with versions, and make groups of alternates, all

from one central place. From Bridge, you can search for and view all Version Cue files without opening individual Adobe Creative Suite components. You can manipulate files directly in Bridge to avoid delays as files open or as the components start up.

Alternates Alternates allow you to leverage an asset and take your designs in a different direction. For example, if

you want to radically transform a photo that is currently used in a project, but you don’t want to alter the original, you can create an alternate and work with it instead. Use alternates, in addition to versions, to manage your assets.

“About Version Cue alternates” on page 106.

See

Version Cue PDF Review Host online PDF reviews from your own computer or another Version Cue Workspace.

You can include in the review any PDF file in the project, and use the Automatic e-mail generation to quickly invite users to the review. Review comments are collected in the Version Cue Workspace where all reviewers can see and reference them as the review progresses.

Ability to manage non-Adobe files Store non-Adobe files, such as text documents, schedule spreadsheets, and

billing forms, in a Version Cue proj

ect. You can also create versions of non-Adobe files. See “To save a version of a

non-Adobe file” on page 102.

About Version Cue projects

Ve rs i o n C u e u s es projects to store related files and folders. If you work independently, you create a project to gather all the files you need, view the files in Bridge, and use Version Cue features such as versions and alternates. In a workgroup, depending on your workflow, you can create one Version Cue project for files that everyone in your workgroup collaborates on, a different project for files that don’t require collaboration, and yet another project restricted to specific users.

When you first open a Version Cue project, Version Cue creates a folder named “Version Cue” in your My Documents(Windows) or Documents(Mac OS) folder,and adds afolderfor theproject to it.Whenyou open afile from that project, Version Cue adds a working copy of thefiletothe projectfolder.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

Version Cue uses a special folder for each project: the documents folder.Thisfolderiswhere VersionCue stores nonGoLive files for each project. When you access the project from Bridge, InCopy, or any Adobe Creative Suite component except Acrobat 7, Version Cue automatically opens the documents folder and temporarily displays the project title as the folder name. (If you access the project using Acrobat 7, the folder is named “documents”.) You’ll also see the documents folder if you open the working copies folder.

If you create a new Version Cue project from GoLive, or if you add a new or existing website to a project, Version Cue creates three additional folders for that project:

Web-content folder Contains the home page (index.html) as well as any website content, including pages, images,

styles, and scripts. You can create separate Pages, Images, and Styles subfolders if necessary. Any files or folders uploaded to a production server should be stored in the web-content folder. Because GoLive uses this folder to manage a site as it’s created, be careful not to store other types of files in this folder. You can create any type and number of subfolders in the web-content folder.

Web-data folder Stores different types of reusable site objects, such as Smart Objects, components, and templates.

This folder contains data used to create the final site. To avoid broken links, missing styles, and similar problems, never store final website content in the web-data folder.

Web-settings folder Stores only the saved settings in the GoLive Site Window and Site Settings dialog boxes.

Creating and editing projects

To begin using Version Cue, you need to create a Version Cue project. When you work with Version Cue, you decide what a project entails. For example, you can create a project to organize files for an entire publishing effort, or you can create a project to manage files for specific aspects of an advertising campaign. You can use a project to organize assets relatedtoaparticular customer or useaprojecttoseparateprivate filesfromfiles that areworkedoncollaboratively. You can add files to projects at any time by using Bridge, InCopy, or any Adobe Creative Suite component.

When you create a Version Cue project, you specify a project name, the Version Cue Workspace that hosts the project, and a project description. You specify whether to share the project or keep it private. Shared projects are available to other users; however, you can password-protect shared projects to restrict access to specific users. You can create private projects on a workspace installed on your computer. If you create a project on a computer that is used as a server, it must be shared to be accessible.

You can create projects by using Bridge, InCopy, any Adobe Creative Suite component, or the Version Cue Administration utility. The Version Cue Administration utility provides options for specifying advanced project properties. You create new Version Cue projects with it by importing a folder of files. These files are used as the project starting point.

Working with files in Version Cue

Using working copies

Version Cue projects and files reside in the Version Cue Workspace on the host computer. The master copies of files added to the project, including file versions and other file data, such as comments, version dates, and user IDs, are saved on this host computer. When you work in files from a Version Cue project, you’re editing a working copy of the master file on your computer, not the master file on the Version Cue Workspace, which remains protected and untouched.

As you work, use the Save command to save changes periodically. This command does not create a new version of the master file but updates your working copy. A new version is created only when you choose the Save A Version command. This command first updates the working copy, and then adds a new version to the master file on the Version Cue Workspace. When the working copy of a file matches (is the same version as) the current version in the workspace, the file is synchronized.

Using working copies of master files, several people can work with the most recent version of a master file. For example, if two people need access to the same illustration during overlapping periods of time, Version Cue lets each person work with a working copy of the most recent file version. The second person to access the illustration is informed that the file is already in use. At that time, the second person can decide whether to continue working with the file. Working copies give everyone flexible access to project files and allow work to proceed concurrently when necessary.

Note: Two users can’t edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

Working copies allow you to work on a file even when the host workspace is unavailable, or offline. Though some features, such as versions and alternates, can’t be used when you’re working offline, you can edit files and save your work. When the workspace is online again, you can save a version to update the master file.

There are times when you may wish to delete the working copies of your project files. For example, you may want to free up space on your hard drive, or are completely finished working on the project. Version Cue lets you delete your working copies of project files by disconnecting from the project. Disconnecting from a project deletes the working copies projectfolderonyourharddrive.You candothisatany time if none of theworking copies areInUse by you. If you accidentally disconnect from a project, new working copies are recreated the next time you access the project files. If a project is deleted from either the host workspace or your local computer, you can use working copies to recreate the project with the most current versions of the files.

To relocate working copies of a project, edit the project’s properties and use the Change Location feature. For instructions, see

“To edit the properties of a project” on page 82.

Note: Make sure that you use the Change Location feature to relocate working copies, rather than moving the project folder manually in the file system.

File protection in Version Cue

Version Cue automatically informs others that a file is being edited. Version Cue assigns In Use status to a file when you open and edit a file that isn’t being edited by another user. When you save a version, Version Cue removes the file’s In Use status.

Note: In InCopy, you must choose File > Checkin after saving a version to remove the file’s In Use status.

At times two people may need to work with a file simultaneously. For example, User A may begin editing a file but be called away before saving a version. If User B works on the file while User A is away, Version Cue ensures that the two files don’t overwrite each other in the project. User A’s working copy won’t reflect the changes made by User B, and vice versa. When finished with the file, both users can save a new version of the file to the Version Cue Workspace. Version Cue alerts all current users of the file about the presence of a new version in the Version Cue Workspace and gives them the option of downloading the latest version or continuing their current edits. Alternatively,users cansavetheir editsasanalternate.(Version Cuealertsusers whohavethe file open or whore-openafile that was previously closed while In Use.)

Note: Two users can’t edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

User Guide

You can use the Version Cue Workspace Administration utility to assign lock protection to a Version Cue project. Only the first user to begin editing an available file in a lock-protected project can save the next version of that file to theVersion Cueproject.Other userswho edit that file simultaneously can’tsavechanges to anew versionofthat file, even after the first user saves a version. These other users must save the changes as completely new files with their own version thread; however, they can designate their file as an alternate of the original file.

The ability to access a file in a lock-protected project provides the flexibility to create proofs or experiment with the design, for example, and then close the file without saving changes.

Version Cue file statuses

Filesthatare managedbyVersion Cueare always marked with astatusiconthatdescribes thestate of thefileonthe VersionCue Workspace. Youcan view afile’sstatuswhile browsing thefiles in aVersion Cueproject,inBridge, and also in the document window’s Status area after opening a file from the Version Cue Workspace in an Adobe Creative Suitecomponent.InAcrobat,the status is displayedinthe titlebar.Afile canhavemorethanone status at thesame time (in some cases only one status is shown).

Each file status has a corresponding icon:

Open Thefileisopenonyourcomputer. This status lets youmakeinformeddecisions aboutwhether it’s appro-

priate, for example, to place a file into a layout while the file is still being edited. The Open status is indicated only for files on your computer.

In Use By Me You are editing the file. Version Cue assigns this status to a file when you make an edit to the file

that changesits content.Youcan manually mark afileinuse before youeditittoindicatetoothersthatyou intend to make changes to the content.

Synchronized The latest known version of the file is available for editing and you have a working copy of it on

your computer. Version Cue assigns this status when you save a version of the file you’re editing, or when you manually synchronize a project.

No Working Copy No local copy of the file exists. This status indicates that it will take a few moments to create

a working copy before you can edit the file.

In Use By <user name> Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new version.

Conflicted Copies There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are editing the file.

Only Copy The file in the working copies folder is the only copy known to Version Cue and has not been

synchronized with the Version Cue Workspace. This scenario can occur when a file has been saved in an existing project for the first time while the workspace is offline. Because the workspace is offline, Version Cue displays the OfflineCopystatusuntil theworkspace is back online, andthenchangesthe status to Only Copy.Version Cuealso displays this status if you drag a file from one folder into the working copies folder using the file system instead of Bridge (not recommended). You can edit the file, but it’s important to synchronize(upload thefiletothe workspace) after you save your changes.

Offline Copy There is a local copy of the file in your working copies folder, but the Version Cue Workspace is

offline. There is no way of checking whether the local copy is synchronized with the latest version on the workspace.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2

You can edit an offline copy and save these changes; however, you must save a version or synchronize the file once the workspace comes back online.
