When working within a project, you will see the following icons in the navigation tree on the left-hand side of the screen. The following icons represent folders and subfolders, followed by activities, then topics and screens.

There are four different activity types in the LCMS, each represented by a different icon design in the navigation tree.

The following icon designs indicate the state of certain elements in the tree:

A superimposed pencil icon on an activity, topic, or screen indicates that it is currently being edited. Activities or screens will also be marked in bold if they are currently being edited.

A plus sign to the left of a folder, activity, or topic, indicates that it contains other elements and is in a collapsed state. Clicking the icon will toggle it between collapsed and expanded states. When expanded, the plus sign is replaced with a minus sign.

A superimposed chain link icon on a topic or screen indicates that it is linked from a master topic or screen elsewhere in the Content Repository.

The chain link icon can also appear in the pane to the right of the navigation tree in the Topic List and Screen List screens, to indicate that a topic or screen is linked.
