New Sharepoint Library Symbol
We have noticed some new symbols appear within out Document Library. Has anybody else seen these as, I can't find any documentation on them.
Thank you for the reply. I can now pass that on to my Users.

- also after the "eyelashes" you'll see, maybe only due to a workflow or flow a squiggle arrow to the right - would love to find a page to tell me for sure :-P
also seeing in Modified column, after a workflow runs, the document now shows modified by SharePoint App. Now this workflow has an App Step to move to a folder, so I'm wondering if this is why it is happening. Didn't happen a few days ago
How long does the "Eye Lashes" stay on the file/sub-folder?
Shaun Smith From my understanding, the new document symbols or "eyelashes" will appear for 3 days in SharePoint Online.
In the on-premises versions of SharePoint this used to be 2 days. So I would expect that the default setting has been kept. Also note that this isn't really anything new. It is just new in the modern look library views.
Thanks Pieter. I am new to SP Online and learning rapidly...
There are different colours for this icon; blue and pink. Anyone know what this means? Also I've not seen these changes on the roadmap.
- The colors vary according to your SharePoint site colors.
They are all the same ;-)
The colour is the colour of the site, so it matches the site icon colour.
Yes we have it too. It's the 'new document' indicator.
- I believe Stephen Rose announced this update a little while back around One Drive files so we should see this new glyph over there too!
The next issue I have is that new Files are not showing up in OneDrive once the library is synced.
- Yep, seeing this new thing too :-)
- Thanks for pointing this out! The 'eyelashes' have just turned up in my tenant too.
Thank you for the reply. I can now pass that on to my Users.
- They come with new documents and folders. It is just to mark them as new.
Are we sure it is "new" and not "recently modified" ?
There is another new icon I the site pages library, probably referring to trending pages?- I am not 100% sure. I thought it looked like a bright new/sun like symbol. I only had new documents.
