The circle indicates the nature of the state and, in some cases, whether the current user is currently assigned to a content review. > ℹ️ Colors listed on this page are app defaults; they can be overridden by the `color` parameter on a **[state](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649531575)**[ macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649531575). ## Types of state status indicator circles The various circles are summarized below. ![image](media://c23cf1b3-80c6-4152-a492-4c09ea2772d1) ## Summary details - restrictions and permissions For more details on published and unpublished (draft) workflow states, see [Publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649923873). | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Indicator** | ![image](media://22183db3-7739-4743-97fd-fd5e79cd7ff2) | ![image](media://5b70b1d5-6a13-4bd0-8586-befc7678b449) | ![image](media://72f123ab-6e6d-4d6e-8690-6895d83dbcab) | ![image](media://807193b6-16a3-4daa-9ae1-8229f7f44f84) | ![image](media://e6c42d33-92fd-4fef-9de8-e641f91d5ee0) | ![image](media://2ea467ac-40a2-4fe0-beb6-75c608b02c2d) | | **Summary** | Unrestricted | ...Assigned | Unpublished | ...Assigned | Published | Confused | | **[Permission](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650217543)**** to view?** | **View** Content | **Edit** content, **Admins** | **View** content | If the workflow has a state with `final=true`, then **Edit** content or **Admin** permission is required if the precursor state was not the final state.
