Document Status Indicators

You can view the assignment status of an assigned document or a document placeholder, and the superseded status of an assigned document. A document with a superseded status is identified by the red label: Newer Version Available.

The assignment status is determined by the binding options and the values and availability of documents in the repository, as follows:

  • The assignment status indicates whether the file you want to bind to the assembly is available in the repository.
  • The superseded status, indicated by a red label that says Newer Version Available, indicates whether a document available in the repository is more recent than the document assigned in the assembly.

When you assign a document to an assembly, it is added to the assembly tree and its icon indicates its status. The following table identifies the document status icons.

Icon Meaning Description
Bound The document exists, it has content and the binding rule has been satisfied.
Unassigned This is a document placeholder; it indicates that no document has been assigned.
Superseded The document exists, it has content and the binding rule has been satisfied, however a newer version of the document exists.
Missing version A version of the document exists that is different from the one specified by the binding rule.
Missing No version of the assigned document exists.
  Missing content The document exists and the binding rule has been satisfied, however the document has no content associated with it. This can occur if a virtual document has been assigned from the repository.
