Any articles currently being edited will be displayed in this section.
| # | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | Article | Article identifier as a jump to its Article head page |

The Phase column actually names the last phase that is not a Note or Query. If the last phase is a Note, ✎ is added after the last phase shown. If the last Phase is a Query, ? is added. These additions indicate something that may need attention before other actions.
When a version is released, all phase information involved in getting there is deleted. Managers see a list of all in-progress articles, while an assignee is only shown the articles that have been assigned to them.

Locales△
The Locales item opens to a list of locales and their key settings, indented by their place in the fall-through hierarchy.
| # | Area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| a | Summary | Number of locales as a checkbox to expand list |
| b | Jumps | Jumps to the Details view for the locale on the Locale page |
| c | Master | Master locale at root of fall-through hierarchy, indicated by the * |
| d | No Next | Locales with blank Next fall-through to master locale. Indicated by an indent from the master |
| e | Has Next | Locale has fall-through to en-us. Indicated by an indent from its Next locale |
| f | Locale details | User: User interface language Quotes: Dual level quote marks used Status: Always for master, Enabled for visible, Disabled for not visible Override: Whether Western Arabic numerals are used |
A box around the locale, like ar-001, indicates the current viewing locale. A strike through the locale, like ru-ru, indicates Disabled.
The fall-through hierarchy is defined by selecting a Next locale for a locale as its fall-through in the Locale page. Any locale without a Next falls-through to the master locale. The hierarchy helps make logical locale fall-through paths. For example, where a language has multiple scripts, having the less popular ones fall-through to the most popular allows articles that haven't been translated into the less popular scripts to show the most popular script version rather than the master locale which might be a different language.
