Blue lines on SharePoint folders and items in document library

[Marty Kelly]

What are these blue lines?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

“New” Star replacement. Think it’s items modified in past 24 hour.

We've had a lot of questions about this in our organization too, I've looked through all the recent changes described in the Message Center but found nothing describing this. I guess it's too unsignificant to post about, but this sort of change sure generates interest :)

Btw: the color scheme changes wrt the item type it seems, green for files and blue for folders?

What is the new green zig-zag arrow then?

[#5]

Trending document, lots of recent activity. 

[#6]

Hm, so more than just symbols for new documents and folders, then. How do you know this, have you seen an overview somewhere?

I picked it up somewhere along the lines from Ignite demo's seeing them and just figuring it out. I may have read it on a blog post but I honestly can't recall so much info the past 2 months I don't remember where I get it I just know I know what it is now :P.

I found an authoritative source for information about this:

I think it's got something to do with what the Sharepoint sees as a REPEAT of a file. 

For example, if you have a file that has a similar name in folder A and in folder B;

Lets say, you already transferred folder A to sharepoint

and now you transfer folder B (from your main windows drive) to Sharepoint -

then because Sharepoint sees that you have 2 files (with similar/same names) from two different folders (folder A & folder B);

- and more than one file from each folder A and folder B has file(s) with a similar name/title

- your folder will then have the three blue lines on it.
