How do I interpret these colors in the timeline?

You see what look like yellow highlights on some of the icons but when I hover over them it doesn't say anything interesting. What do they mean, and how would I go about fixing them? Thanks!

You can right click on any of them and ask to Review Warning. Model is attached corrected following the Review Warnings.

Each yellow one has attracted a warning from Fusion, that there is some sort of minor problem, red icons are announcing actual errors.

select each one, right click, select Warnings in the menu to read what the warning is.

In that dialogue, you may see drop down arrows, click on them to dig into the deeper messages.

Fixing the left most warning, may resolve all of the error messages, but if not, work along the timeline.

Hint, if you happen to Delete things from the file, is the most common cause of yellow and red icons - as we describe them.

Thanks! That really helps. Now what does this hash mark mean over the icons?

Can’t see a hash mark in your pic.

the 3 bars above the first icon in John’s pic, (ownership) is telling you that the selected icon, blue border around the yellow icon, belongs to that component.
