Errors & Warnings: Notifies you of specific errors and warning. Errors appear red. Warnings appear yellow. Click on the error or warning for more information about how to resolve it.

Size: A file's size, or the size of everything under a folder including the content of subfolders. An error indicates the file's size is too large to be migrated to the target SharePoint environment.

Path Length: The length of the path at the destination. If you start the inventory on anything other than a drive, the number won't correspond to the length of the path shown in the Path column. An error indicates the path is too long for any SharePoint list or library, while a warning indicates that the path is approaching the limit and may overflow if the list or library has a long name or is in a subsite. For more information on 'Path too long' errors and warnings please visit the error page.

# of items: The number of items directly under a given folder, without counting items in its subfolders. A warning indicates the number of items is higher than the target SharePoint environment's list view threshold and may cause issues once migrated.
