Icons and the font color used for the file name indicate the status of files in the vault. The icons indicate whether you have a local copy, if your copy is up-to-date, if you have a current version, and so on. The font color will indicate if the file is not checked out, is checked out to you, or is checked out to another user. The following table contains a legend for the icons.
Some status icons differ based on the Vault edition and the release year.
Refer to these tables for status icons in Autodesk Vault Basic.

This typically means that your local file was changed without checking it out. Note: This icon may also appear if a user is sharing a working folder with another user who has checked out the file, made changes, but has not yet checked the file back in. Vault will see that the file has been updated locally, but that the changes are different from those currently saved to the vault. In this instance, the file is not available for check out since the other user already has it checked out.
