Work In Progress and Approval Icons

CommonSpot icons represent various Work In Progress (WIP) states. Each Work In Progress icon has a Pending Approval and Needs Approval counterpart. In Edit Mode, two different sets of icons can appear for Work In Progress – yellow icons identify the current user’s work, while blue icons identify the work of others. When working on a page in edit mode, purple icons indicate changes made by other contributors.

Here is a complete list of these icons and their meanings. Reordering Elements in a container uses a similar set of WIP icons.
