Quick color guide

Our monitoring results use three colors to help you quickly identify changes:

  • Green: New data added

  • Yellow: Existing data modified

  • Red: Data removed

Detailed breakdown

Green: New content

  • Indicates newly added information

  • Content wasn't present in previous check

  • Common in product listings or news feeds

  • Example: New items added to a catalog

Green Color: When you see the green color, new data has been added to the URL you're monitoring.

Yellow: Modified content

  • Shows changes to existing information

  • Could include text updates or price changes

  • Helps track item modifications

  • Example: Price updates on a product

Yellow Color: If you see the yellow color, it means that the existing data on the URL has been changed in some way.

Red: Removed content

  • Highlights deleted or removed information

  • Previously monitored content no longer present

  • Useful for tracking availability

  • Example: Out-of-stock products

Red Color: if you see the red color, it means that previously present data on the URL has been removed. This could indicate that the URL has been updated and some information has been deleted.

Position tracking

Numbers next to monitored items show position changes:

  • No number: Position unchanged

  • Positive number (+1): Moved down in list

  • Negative number (-1): Moved up in list

  • Example: A -2 means the item moved up 2 positions

For example, in the image below, you can see data in position 3; the number next to it is -1. This means the data was previously in position four but has since been moved to position 3.
