Digizuite™ Adobe Creative Cloud Connector 5.5 is a brand new, completely re-rewritten product, offering new functionality, better stability and more internal control over both the UI and the features.

Below consists of two elements:

• Compatibility Matrix between MM and CCC versions

• The breaking changes from 2.1 to CCC 5.5

Compatibility Table

A a rule of thumb then CCC follows the MM versions when it is features that involves database changes such as using new metadata. So if a feature was introduced in CCC 5.5.2 then it requires MM 5.5.2. But newer CCC can be used with older versions of MM but just without specific features that was introduced in later MM’s**. You can go to CCC5.5 Release notes to see all releases of CCC.

**However, we do provide specific configuration scripts to enable certain features and in those instances please consult your Technical Account Manager. An overview can be seen in below table.

Adobe enforces this; hence it is not something we have control over.

Example - Insert from Desktop or local folder

So, let’s say you download insert an INDD file made in InDesign 16 via the connectorfrom the Desktop or a folder on your PC.

You’ll be presented with the following prompt - where the tab in InDesign will say “…[Converted]” (1):
