Placing remote files in documents
While working with a document in an integrated Adobe application, you can use the Place command to place a remote file into the document, just as you would with a local file. You can also drag a remote file from Adobe Bridge to an open document. Always add assets to the DAM server before placing them in a managed document. When you place a file that is not managed by the DAM server into a file that is managed, you cannot keep track of the placed asset's versions or status.
View file status and versions in the Links panel
The Links panel in Illustrator or InDesign displays additional information about placed files from the DAM server, identifying whether a linked file is being edited and which user is doing the editing. You can also use the Links panel to determine whether the linked file needs to be updated to a newer version from the DAM server.

The Links panel works the same way for remote files as it does for local files. For example, if a newer version of a linked file is on the DAM server, the Modified Artwork icon appears; if a file is missing, the Missing Artwork icon appears. To permanently delete Version Cue files with the Deleted status in Adobe Bridge: Open the project that contains the files you want to delete. Choose Tools > Adobe Drive > View Project Trash, or click View Project Trash.

Select the file or files. Invoke the context menu for the files with right-click (in Windows) or CTRL-click (in Mac OS), and choose Delete Permanently; --or-- Click Delete in the navigation bar. If you can still see files you've deleted, choose View > Refresh or press F5.
Working with versions
Versions track changes to a file. When you edit a file from the DAM server, you are editing the last version saved to the DAM Server. When you are ready to save changes to the DAM server, you check in a version. You do not have to check in a version every time you save your changes, just when you want to create a snapshot of the file. You can promote a previous version to be the current version, letting you recover from unwanted changes. You can compare multiple versions of the same file, and delete versions as they become obsolete or to save disk space.
File status in integrated applications
Files that are managed by Adobe Drive 2. 0 are marked with a status icon that describes the state of the file on the DAM server. When browsing managed files in Drive-integrated applications such as InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, you can see a file's status in the status bar. Possible status value are as follows: Status Open Icon Description The file is open on your computer.
Checked Out By Me
You are editing the file. [. . . ] The version number appears in the file's title bar to remind you that it is not the current version. The file status is Never Saved, because the previous version is only a snapshot of a previous stage of the file.

Promoting a version
Promoting a previous version saves a copy of the previous version as the current version. This process keeps the previous version intact if you decide to return to it again in the future. Any changes made between its creation and promotion do not appear in the new current version. [. . . ]
