Version Editor window

In Version Editor, you can view layers, spot colors, dies, and create versions of the job. Version Editor extracts the spot color or layer settings from the job, and then opens the job where you can add, edit, save, or delete versions. You can also select different spot colors or layers and define them as die lines.

The following icons and controls are included in the Version Editor window:

  • Pointer (arrow): Selects a page.
  • Pan tool (hand): Moves the job around the window.
  • Zoom tool (magnifying glass): Zooms in and out.
  • Scroll bar at the rightmost side of the window.
  • Page number navigation at the bottom of the window.
  • Viewing options of Fit to height, Fit to width, and Fit to window in the lower-right corner of the window.
  • Zoom control slider in the lower-right corner of the window.
  • Version: Drop-down menu of the saved versions.
  • Save icon: Saves the current version.
  • Add icon (plus sign): Allows you to create a new version. You can choose to overwrite the current version or save a new version.
  • Delete icon: Deletes versions displayed in the Versions field.
  • Spot colors tab: Displays all the spot colors in the original job.
  • Layers tab: Displays all the layers in the original job.
  • Select die line (pencil tip icon): Selects the die line of the job. You can use XMP data (if available in the job), spot colors, or layers to be used for the die line.
If the die line functionality is supported on the Fiery server, the following icons appear in the Version Editor window when spot colors are defined as die lines:
  • Add to die library (arrow with plus sign): Adds the die line to the die library.
    Note: Only spot colors can be added to the die library. Layers cannot be added to the die library.
  • Eye icon in the Die Line area: Displays or hides the preview of the die line. Click to change.
  • Remove icon (minus sign): Deletes the die line.

The following Version Editor controls appear in the Fiery Preview window after you have manipulated a job in Version Editor:

  • Die Line (Eye icon): Displays or hides the preview of the die line of the job. The die line can also have XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) data.
  • Export: Exports the selected versions as jobs to the Fiery Command WorkStation Held list. If multiple versions have been saved, you can select all versions in the Export versions to held queue dialog box. The versions are exported to the Held list as separate jobs.
    Note: The Export icon is available in the upper-right corner of the Version Editor window. It appears both in the Version Editor and the Fiery Preview window only when you create and save a new version of a job.
