Note Web Publisher provides many internal and automatic features such as link management, file reindexing, and state checking. If you use your local file management tools to manipulate files and folders in the document directory defined for Web Publisher, you may get inconsistent and unexpected results. When you start up Web Publisher, you see the server documents and folders displayed in a window that hierarchically lists all files and folders, as shown in Figure 3.1 . There are several icons that provide information about a given file or folder. As files undergo different operations, Web Publisher displays different icons in the Web Publisher window.
Version control is indicated by a small document stack.
Files that you have edited but haven't yet published have a distinctive pen icon. Locked files also have special icons that differ depending on whether you or another user is the lock owner. Table 3.1 shows the various possible combinations. When a file that is being edited is published back to the server, the pen icon disappears. Likewise, when files that have been locked are unlocked, the lock icon or the circle icon disappears.
