Approved Symbols and Messages
An object can contain both workspace revisable data and globally revisable data. The Approved symbols and messages indicate the status of the workspace revisable data on a product, classification, image, or document. The status can be viewed in the Approved field on these objects.
For details on the approval process, see the Approving an Object topic here.
For more information on revisability, see the Revisions topic in the System Setup / Super User guide here.
