# What the colored rings and "unsynced" mean

> The ring around each marketplace icon shows the listing's status. What each color means, what unsynced is, and how to push unsaved edits to a live listing.

Each marketplace icon on a product card has a ring that shows the listing's status there: **solid green** means live and in sync, **dashed green** means live but with changes that have not been pushed yet ("unsynced"), and **dashed blue** means ready to list. Hover over an icon to see its status in words.

## What does each ring mean?

| Ring | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Solid green | Live · synced | The item is live on that marketplace and matches Treecat. |
| Dashed green | Live · out of sync | The item is live, but Treecat has changes that have not reached the listing. See "unsynced" below. |
| Dashed blue | Ready to list | Prepared in Treecat but not listed on that marketplace yet. |
| Solid amber | Pending | A listing action (list, update, delist) is in progress. |
| Solid red | Draft | Saved as a draft for that marketplace. Open the item to finish it. |
| Solid grey | Archived | The listing is archived. |
| Faint grey | Not listed | There is no listing on that marketplace. |


If an action failed, open the item and check its **Events** tab for the reason; the Warnings filter also finds items with sync problems. See [Why won't an item list?](https://wiki.treecat.io/why-wont-an-item-list)

## What does "unsynced" mean, and how do I fix it?

"Unsynced" (Listed (unsynced), or Live · out of sync) means the Treecat item has a change that has not reached the marketplace listing. Even a stray space counts.

- If the item is already live, select it and run **Update** to push your changes. The dashed ring turns solid.
- If the item was never listed there, use **List** instead.

## What does "Heads up — you're editing a live listing" mean?

Treecat autosaves your edits on the item page as you type. When the marketplace listing is live, a banner reminds you:

> Heads up — you're editing a live listing (autosaved). Apply saves your changes; they reach the marketplace on your next Update (or an automatic relist).

- **Apply changes** saves your edits to the item in Treecat.
- Your changes reach the live listing when you next run **Update**, or at the next automatic relist.
- **Reset to live values** throws the autosaved edits away and goes back to what is live.

If the banner says the saved listing changed while you were editing (for example a sync or autofill updated it), review the form before applying.


For an item that is not listed yet, a smaller line says the draft was autosaved but not saved to the product. Click **Save** to keep your changes, or **Discard** to drop them.
