So ive been searching through youtube in hope of finding something interesting to watch.
I did, so i clicked on the video and something caught my eye.

If I’m not mistaken, those icons are from Roblox’s new package feature. I haven’t tested It much myself but I believe they’re accessed via the toolbox and they’re kind of like models but I think they have a package management/syncing feature. Basically if you insert a package, and that package gets updated in the future you will have the ability to upgrade that package in any experience that uses it making it a great way to share code between projects and keep assets up to date.
If a model creator were to update their model, fix bugs in a script, etc, these changes would not be reflected automatically. You would have to reinsert the model to update it manually. Packages solves this issue.
As @Dorkus_McForkus stated, the folders with a little clip icon next to them are Packages, and I believe the color indicates if the contents of the package has been modified or not and/or if it is up to date or not.
Meanwhile the Actor is used for Multithreading which creates an isolated environment for the children of the actor for another worker to use.
