Autodesk Vault Icon Reference

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.
