Show Master And Project Copies

The icons on the Master and Project Copies page indicate the status of a document:

• — Locked document from which project copies have been created. This might be the master document or a project copy.

• — active project copy

• — Waiting project copy. The document is in a waiting list and is read-only because it has not yet reached the top of the list. You cannot:

  • change the document type

  • change the workflow state

  • create a sub project copy

  • download the document

  • modify or annotate renditions

  • modify references

  • release the waiting project copy to master

  • replace content.

• — Unchanged document.

• — Document under change or quick change.

• — An information project copy. The document is located in a project folder, but is not shown on the Master and Project Copies page. You can add the document to a package for information, but you cannot:

  • change the content natively, on renditions, or annotate it
  • change the properties
  • start a workflow
  • release to master
  • transfer to another project
  • transfer to next waiting project copy.
