Show Master And Project Copies
You can create multiple project copies from a single master document. The Show Project Copies command allows you to see both master documents and all of the project copies made from them in a single view. This enables you to locate the project copies and the master document from which they were created.

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.
