  • Are the items in one list or they are nested lists in a list? Commented Feb 28, 2023 at 8:29

    Popular products that people use often have their own conventions, as you can see in the answers below. Frequent users will understand or get used to them. If there is a general agreed on convention, I wonder why you don't know it already or why it isn't mentioned in any of the answers. So it is safe to assume there isn't one that your users are guaranteed to understand. If you are looking for a way to advertise new items to people that aren't familiar with the application you will have to use more explicit, more descriptive methods like the NEW ITEM tag mentioned in one of the answers.

  • @jazZRo I agree. I was hoping there would be some research in this area. As it is I don't know if I can mark any answer as correct. Commented Feb 28, 2023 at 19:08
