A headline card per object with overview details for comparison against project versions. Headline cards are highlighted when there are differences between project versions in the primary and secondary headlines. When a new custom object, or a previously uncaptured standard object first displays as described in Managing Version Capture Configuration, and headline configurations have not been amended, you will see a blank headline card.
