How to know if its on the DLS?

So I've been working on a route, and I have mostly built in content. But I appear to have some how got content on this route that is not on the DLS.
Is there some way to check before I upload that all the content is in fact on the DLS?
 
Simplest way is to select the route, View Dependencies, View in Main List. Select all, save to CDP. Select all again, delete. Now go back to the route, View Dependencies, see what you get in the way of "?" unknown KUID numbers. That's not a guarantee tho, since content mangler and the DLS 'bot keep tripping over each other's loose screws, sometimes content IS on the DLS but content mangler don't know how to find it and falsely reports it as unknown.
 
Select Dependencies > View in main List. Anything with the green triangle 'Locally Modified' logo is not on the DLS and not built-in.

'Locally Modified' is an 'orrible misnomer - it doesn't mean you have changed stuff, it means it didn't come to you by way of Auran/N3V. While this does include things you might have changed locally, it also includes all 3rd Party Content. Anyway, the green triangle stuff is the stuff you need to track down......

Top one is a new project, not on the DLS and not built in. The rest are KUID2 updates - the one without the green triangle I deleted then downloaded, the rest are all on the DLS, but have the green triangle anyway. That's why I say all this is iffy, I have no clue what it takes to get the content mangler to "refresh" or whatever it needs to do, but for my own content I have to save to a CDP and delete it to find out which is on the DLS - and sometimes even if it IS on the DLS content mangler can't find it. Lately every time I upload something I get a "missing dependency" email for stuff that really is on the DLS and if the 'bot didn't have so many loose screws it should easily find it.
 
erm - they would be your own content, therefore locally modified!

I assumed that JIB would have the wit to sort out his own stuff. I assumed his search would be for stuff created by other folks which he would not instantly recognise...

While this does include things you might have changed locally, it also includes all 3rd Party Content.

Heres what I did, I found ever thing with errors, deleted it, then selected all and hit download. Then any thing that came up with a "?" i just didn't download. I cross checked most of the stuff that came up with a "?" with the list that I got in an e-mail form Auran. That some what proved that most of what had a "?" was not on the DLS. Once they where off my computer I went into the route and hits "Delete Missing Assets." Next step is to replace every thing that got deleted which is quite a lot. Then cross my fingers that it works.
 
CMP only looks so far back and most older content is not being seen by it. Only by going through the Download Station can you find the rest. Think they are trying to stop people from using older content unless it has been checked and updated tothe newer versions.
