Star Icon Is Not Displayed on Published Document in Portal
This article was previously published under Q291388
If you view the contents of a document folder from the portal, the star icon may not be displayed on a published document in the folder. However, when you view the folder from a Web folders client, the star icon is displayed.
This problem can occur because publishing status and the associated icons are not displayed for any document until at least one document that you have privileges to view has been checked out and checked back in.
To resolve this problem, check out a document in the folder, and then check it back in.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
The publishing status for documents in enhanced folders, such as "checked in" and "pending approval", is represented in folder views by an icon. The star icon knows that a document has been approved and published, and is available to readers. Only users who are assigned the coordinator and author role can see the icons. Readers only see published documents; it is not necessary to indicate publishing status.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
