In various parts of the interface and in reports, you will see a circle followed by a workflow state name. The circle indicates the nature of the state and, in some cases, whether the current user is currently assigned to a content review.

Note: Colors listed on this page are app defaults; they can be overridden by the color parameter on a {state} macro.

Summary

The various circles are summarized below (click image to zoom).

For more details on published vs. unpublished (drafts) – see Publishing.

See - Confused States - Grey Circle.

Alternatively, an invalid value for the color parameter is used in the {state} macro.

If there is an existing published version, view-only users will see that.

Editors will generally see the published version by default but can switch to the draft version using the status bar link.
