EPS image file
About
An EPS image file is an image file of file type Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files are more-or-less self-contained, PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing and can be placed within another PostScript document. An EPS file is essentially a PostScript program, saved as a single file that includes a low-resolution preview "encapsulated" within it, allowing some programs to display a preview on the screen.

Managing versions of the EPS image file
The EPS image file can be checked in and out. As such, the EPS image file gets a version history.
It is possible to check in an individual file, for example when it is approved for release. When the file is checked in, the current file version can not be edited anymore.
For instructions, see:
It is possible to check in all files in a folder at the same time (for example when the files are approved for release) by checking in the folder. Any subfolders with files are also checked in.
When the files are checked in, the current file versions can not be edited anymore.
For instructions, see:
It is possible to check in all files in a workspace at the same time (for example when the files are ready for review) by checking in the workspace. All folders and files in the workspace are checked in.
When the files are checked in, the current file versions can not be edited anymore. The checked-in workspace version (edition) is then possible to select when publishing a publication before sending it for review.
For instructions, see:
It is possible to check out a file or folder (resource) that has previously been checked in. A checked in resource cannot be changed. When you check out a resource, a new version is created and the resource can be edited.
For instructions, see:
If you have a checked out version of a resource (file or folder), it is possible to revert to the previous checked in version of the resource. This means that any changes made in the checked out version are lost.
For instructions, see:
It is possible to lock a file to prevent anyone else from editing the file. Only one user at a time can lock and edit a file. The file is auto saved and unlocked after 1 minute if you do not continue editing the file.

For instructions, see:
Every time a file is saved, a draft version of the file is stored in Skribenta. Normally, the draft versions are stored for a month. It is possible to view the content of a draft file version.
For instructions, see:
It is possible to copy parts of the content in a file version.
For instructions, see:
Every time a file is saved, a draft version of the file is stored in Skribenta. Normally, the draft versions are stored for a month. It is possible to revert to a previously saved draft version.

It is possible to compare the content of two consecutive file versions.
For instructions, see:
The file version label, which is for example displayed when viewing the file version tree, can be changed.

Cutting and pasting the EPS image file
It is possible to modify the structure of the workspace by moving the files and folders.
It is possible to move multiple resources simultaneously.
Moving a resource does not change the resource ID, which means that links to them are not broken. If the resource's parent folders are not working versions, they will be updated to new versions.
For instructions, see:
Copying the EPS image file
You can duplicate previously created files and folders by copying them. New resource IDs will be assigned to resource copies.

Generating a used-by report
It is possible to generate a list of all files that are including and/or linking to your file.
When a file is included in another file, which is used in a publication, the list also shows the publication.
When a file is only linked to from another file, which is used in a publication, the used-by list do not show the publication.
You can also get a list of files using a particular image file.
You can generate a used-by report either from the file itself in the workspace, or from the include, link and image element pointing to a file.
It is possible to generate a list of all files and publications a translation, improvement and extension project is linking to.
A used-by list opens in a new tab. For each listed file in this tab, you can generate a used-by list.
Files in hidden include, link or image element are not shown in the used-by list.
