without a green circle indicate content that was checked-in but

The Content Version Number
The Detail History Window
Ektron CMS400.NET assigns a unique number to each saved
version of a content block. The number is increased by one tenth if
the content is checked in but not published. If the content is
published, the next whole number is assigned.
For example, if the current version is 1.0 and you check in that
content, the new version is 1.1. If the next editor publishes it, the
new version is 2.0.
If the content is purged, the numbering scheme restarts with the
remaining content.
After viewing the View Content History window, you can click any
version to see the detail for it. The detailed History window has two
sides:
• The left side redisplays the information in the content history
window. See Also: ”The Content History Window” on page 109
