# Entity indicators

The **Entity indicators** component highlights information about an entity, for example when the entity is a *Draft*, is *Locked*, or has been *Rejected*. The component can include multiple indicators, each indicating distinct information about the entity and only appearing when a specific condition is met.

In the following example, the entity indicator component includes two indicators: a label displaying the entity's status (draft), and an icon indicating that the associated file is a duplicate.

> [!note]
> Entity indicators are only available on React or Hybrid pages with the exception of the following indicators, which are also supported on Knockout pages: *Cover image*, *Draft*, *Duplicates exist*, *Lock*, *Processing*, *Publishing status*, *Rejected*, *Custom indicator*.
