Markus, hi...

Thanks for the explanation... it's pretty much clear but a little more clarification would help me to understand it better.

Main programmes i use are Illustrator and Photoshop (and Dreamweaver). So far, what i've been doing is saving each version as a new file...

project 01a.ai
project 01b.ai
project 01b new.ai
... or .psd, etc.

OK... just saw the Check In option in the file menu. So, in effect, i create a new file... ProjecX.ai (or .psd) and save.

Make changes and check it in as ProjectX-a.ai (or .psd). And so on...

So, now, all the ProjectX versions are actually, one file with different variations and permutations. These can be viewed (and opened) through Bridge. The one i finally decide on can be saved as an ai/psd master (different name of course) or exported as a PDF or whatever...

Have i got it right?

Advantages:

1/ Smaller file size with all variations packed into the same file. Hence, no 3 x 150MB files but one, say 180MB file with 3 variations

2/ All variations are in the same file, sequentially displayed. So, one doesn't have to hunt around for new a, new ab, new ca, etc. and then crosscheck dates, etc. to be sure i have the right file.

Have i got the gist of it?

Thanks again,

Cheers...
