Samples can be managed within a single opportunity, or across multiple opportunities through the Samples screen.

Managing Samples Through an Opportunity

How do I know that there are samples checked out for an opportunity?

While viewing opportunities from the Pipeline screen an icon on the opportunity card will indicate if one or more product samples have been checked out.

Indications that a sample is checked out persists even if an opportunity is won/lost.
