Document and Folder Icons


Each document has an icon that indicates which application is associated with it, based on the extension of the file that is attached to the document.

Some documents will also have a smaller icon, either in the upper left or lower right corner (or both) of the document icon, which indicates additional information about the document, such as whether the document is a master document, or is a non-active version.
