# CVS Label Decorations

Label Decorations are used by CVS to show important synchronization information about workspace resources. Decorations can effect the text or the icon of the label associated with a resource. The text decorators are configurable on the CVS Label Decorations Preference page which can also be used to indicate which icons are to be enabled. Here is a description of the icons used by CVS.

Decoration | Resource type | Description
| Any | Indicates that the resource is under version control.
| Any | Indicates that the resource or one of its children contains outgoing changes.
| File | Indicates that the project containing the file has been configured to use watch/edit and the file is being edited locally.
| File | Indicates that the file contains a merge conflict which has not yet been resolved. The conflict is considered resolved once the file is modified and saved.
| Project or Folder | Indicates that the folder is under version control but does not correspond to an existing remote directory but is instead most likely a module defined in the CVSROOT/modules file.
| File or Folder | Indicates that the resource is not under version control.

Note: Resources that are ignored by CVS will not be decorated by any of the above CVS decorations.
