Icons that appear over individual files and folders represent the status of that file or folder. Here’s what each of these icons means.
| Icon name | Context menu icon (Windows) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Green tick |
|
It’s synced - A green tick on a file indicates that the file or folder is in sync with the server copy. |
| Refresh arrows |
|
It’s in use - Blue arrows indicate that Desktop Sync is waiting for the application to release the file or for free space to become available, or a server file to be checked in. |
| Red flag |
|
It’s in conflict - A red cross on a file or folder indicates that update/rename/delete has conflicted with a server-side change and we were not able to automatically resolve it. You need to decide which version to keep. |
| Grey arrow |
|
It’s checked out by another user. A grey arrow indicates that the file is checked out by another user in Alfresco. The file is locked, so you can’t make changes until the file is checked in, or the check out is cancelled. |
| Blue arrow |
|
It’s checked out by you. A blue arrow indicates that the file is checked out by you. The file is locked on the server, so others can’t make changes until the file is checked in, or the check out is cancelled. |
| Grey pencil |
|
It’s read-only. A grey pencil indicates that you don’t have permission to edit this file. This could be due to insufficient privileges on the server, or the file has been declared as a record. |
