   • The green Display icon  indicates that metadata set is the active display metadata for the asset. It’s the version that's surfaced to uploaders when they get a claim and in features such as Music in this Video. 
     • The most complete and newest metadata set gets marked with the Display icon . 
   • A light blue border around a value indicates that this data is different from the newest metadata you’ve uploaded. The non-matching values appear in bold.
