Topic icon overlay in RH 2019

I've searched quite a bit, but I cannot find the answer.  What does the blue circle overlay on the topic icon in RH 2019 represent?  TIA

    Okay, I finally found it.

    This one was driving me crazy because I had a tickle in my brain that I'd seen it before and actually found the answer and posted it in a different thread.

    Here's the thread:

    Re: Resource Manager - unsync doesn't remove icon from topic

    Actually, it's mostly a moot point at this stage of the end of RoboHelp's life because RoboHelp is shedding the former body it once inhabited in order to become something new and different. So knowing what those icons actually represent likely dies with this version.

    Anyhoo... Happy to have finally found the answer.

    Cheers... Rick

    Please confirm this is in RoboHelp 2019 Classic. If not, where are you seeing it?

    Yes, this is RH 2019 Classic in the Project Manager pod and it displays when viewing topics by file name or by topic title.  I thought it was a topic with bookmarks at first, but I see it on non-bookmarked topics as well.

    If I go to the Topics List pod, I see it there too, but only when viewing the topics in "Details" view.  If I switch the Topics List to show "List" view, the icon disappears.

    I thought maybe it was identifying topics that are not included in a TOC or Index, but that isn't the case either.  It shows on topics in multiple TOCs and indices, on topics with only one TOC or index, and on topics with no TOC or index.

    Then, I thought maybe it was showing topics associated with Map IDs, but that isn't it.

    Changing the topic status doesn't affect it (In Progress, Ready for Review, etc.).

    There is no source control on the project, either.

    The icon isn't in the "File and Folder Icons" section of the RH 2019 help file, nor is it in the Using Adobe RoboHelp Classic (2019 release) PDF manual.

    This has me stumped.

    What is below this page icon? I note that there seems to be a minus symbol to the left of it. That seems to indicate it's expanded.
