Checking the State of a Document

PowerDesigner monitors the state of your local document versions against those stored in the repository. A small icon is displayed before the document name in the Local tab of the Browser and, if you select the document, its status is displayed in the status bar.

Note: You can control the display of status icons with the Display status icons in Local Browser general option (see Repository General Options).

In the following example:

the document "DFD sample" has been changed by you and by another user
the document "Project Management (PDM)" is up-to-date
the document "Acme Enterprise Architecture" has been changed and locked by you and changed by another user

The following table lists the possible states of a document:

Icon	Description
	Up to date (green circle) – Your local version is the same as the one in the repository.
	Changed by you (red checkmark) – Your local version has changes not saved to the repository.
	Changed by another (yellow exclamation point) – The repository version has changes that are not reflected in your local version.
	Up to date and locked by you (green circle and green padlock). For information about locks, see Document Locks.
	Up to date but locked by another (green circle and red padlock).
	Changed by you and changed by another (red checkmark and yellow exclamation point).
	Changed and locked by you (red checkmark and green padlock).
