# Enrichment Display Styles in New Lists Reference

> Reference: Enrichment Display Styles in New Lists Reference

<Note>
  **Reference** — lookup information.
</Note>

## Overview

New Lists offers two ways to visually display enriched data and your manual overrides. Choose the style that works best for your workflow in Settings.

**What this article covers:** How to choose and switch between Minimal and Classic enrichment display styles

**For comprehensive enrichment documentation, see:**

* [Enriched, Global, and List-specific Fields](/s/article/Enriched-Global-and-List-specific-Fields) - Complete enrichment explainer
* [Affinity Data](/s/article/Affinity-Data) - Affinity Data fields and sources

## The Two Display Styles

### Minimal Style (Default)

**What you see:**

* **Enriched values**: Standard black text (no special indicator)
* **Overridden values**: Yellow background highlight **Best for:**
* Clean, modern interface with less visual noise
* Focusing on what YOU'VE validated (your overrides stand out)
* Color-blind accessible workflows
* Users new to Affinity **Visual example:**
* Industry: "Healthcare" (black text, no highlight) = enriched
* Current Job Title: "CTO" (black text, yellow highlight) = manually overridden

### Classic Style

**What you see:**

* **Enriched values**: Green text
* **Overridden values**: Standard black text **Best for:**
* Long-time Affinity users familiar with Classic Lists (Sheets 2) colors
* Teams with established "green = auto-populated" workflows
* Quick visual scanning of enrichment status **Visual example:**
* Industry: "Healthcare" (green text) = enriched
* Current Job Title: "CTO" (black text) = manually overridden

## How to Switch Styles

1. Open any List in New Lists
2. Click **Settings** icon (gear) in top right
3. Select **Enrichment style**
4. Choose:
   * **Minimal** - Yellow highlights for overrides
   * **Classic** - Green text for enriched data
5. Your preference saves automatically
6. Applies to all Lists in New Lists **Note:** This is a personal setting - your choice doesn't affect what teammates see. Each user can choose their own preferred style.

## When to Override Enriched Data

### Good Reasons to Override

**You have verified information:**

* Direct confirmation from the contact ("The founder told me their current title is CTO")
* Recent update not yet in external sources ("They just changed roles last week")
* More accurate details than auto-populated data

**You need specific nuance:**

* Enrichment says "VP Engineering" but they prefer "Chief Technology Officer"
* Location shows headquarters but person works remotely
* Industry is too broad, you want specific sub-sector

### When NOT to Override

**Enrichment is "good enough":**

* Data is accurate even if not perfectly detailed
* You don't have better information from direct sources
* The field updates frequently (job titles, company headcounts, funding)

**You want automatic updates:**

* When you override, automatic enrichment **stops** for that field
* If the person changes jobs next month, enrichment won't update your override
* You'll need to manually update overridden fields going forward

**You're unsure:**

* If you're not confident your data is more accurate, leave it enriched
* You can always override later if you get better information
* Enriched data continues to auto-update as external sources change

## Important Reminders

**Once you override a field:**

* That specific field stops auto-updating from enrichment sources
* Your manual entry persists until you change it again or clear it
* Other fields on the same entity continue to auto-enrich normally **To restore auto-enrichment:**
* Click into the overridden field
* Delete your manual entry (clear the field completely)
* Leave it blank
* The field will re-enrich within 24 hours **Trade-off to consider:**
* **Override** = More accurate NOW, but requires manual updates LATER
* **Stay enriched** = May be less detailed NOW, but automatic updates FOREVER

## Additional Details in Field Editors

**When you click into any field:**

**Enriched fields show:**

* Enrichment indicator icon
* Data source (Affinity Data, Crunchbase, PitchBook, or Dealroom)
* Indicates the field auto-updates

**Overridden values show:**

* Override indicator icon
* Tooltip explaining you've manually edited this value
* Indicates automatic updates are paused for this field

**Read-only fields show:**

* Lock icon
* Indicates field cannot be edited
* Usually system-calculated or protected fields

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Why do some teammates see green/black while I see yellow?** Enrichment display style is a personal preference. Each user chooses their own style in Settings. The underlying data, enrichment, and overrides are identical regardless of which style you choose.

**Does my style choice affect my team?** No. Your style preference only affects what YOU see. Teammates can choose their own styles independently.

**Can I switch styles for specific Lists only?** No. Your style preference applies to all Lists in New Lists. It's a global personal setting, not per-List.

**How do I know if I've overridden a field?**

* **Minimal style**: Look for yellow background highlight
* **Classic style**: Look for black text (vs green for enriched)
* Click into any field to see enrichment details and override indicator **Can I undo an override and restore auto-enrichment?** Yes. Click into the field, delete your manual entry completely, and leave it blank. The field will return to enriched status and auto-update within 24 hours.

**Will overriding one field affect other fields?** No. Overrides are field-specific. You can override Current Job Title while leaving Current Organization enriched. Each field's enrichment status is independent.

**What happens if I import data that conflicts with enriched values?** During import, you'll be asked whether to overwrite enriched fields. If you choose to overwrite, your imported data becomes the override and that field stops auto-updating.

\*\*Can I apply the minimal style to other parts of the platform? \*\* This is not yet available, but we do plan on expanding your styling choices so that your preference is carried throughout the platform.
