I am having a bit of trouble with versioning, and I was trying to get the tool tips for all the options and they are not popping up. Any Idea why and how I can get them back?
I think I figured it out. Some of the items don't have a * at the end of them. I assume that means that there is not tip for that item, as all the items with a * at the end have tool tips that pop up.
The asterisk * is an indicator for metadata which is only propagated during write-back. Things like Categories, Annotations, Attributes and so on (without *) are propagated as soon as you change them on the master. But you are right that those entries without * do not have a tooltip - I assume because they are thought to be self explanatory.
Thanks again, thrinn. I was wondering if the annotations included the face regions and that is why I was searching for the tip. I am not sure if they do, but I think not.
At least the face annotations created by IMatch Face recognition should be part of Annotations (see Annotations (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/rel_versions.htm?dl=hid-22)). I am not sure if this also relates to XMP face regions created outside of IMatch.

Hopefully Mario will clarify.
IMatch stores face annotations you have created during write-back into XMP face regions, part of the XMP record for files.
It's all explained in the help: Working with XMP Face Regions (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/people.htm#a_xmp_face_regions?dl=hid-66)
If you propagate all of XMP, face regions will be propagated. If this works for you, depends. If your versions have different dimensions, I recommend to propagate only selected XMP tags.
Or at least check use the "Don't copy XMP Regions (Face data)".
And also read the explains all topic Propagation (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/rel_versions.htm?dl=hid-15) (which also explains about XMP face regions) and of course Common Propagation Pitfalls (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/rel_config.htm?dl=hid-38) before starting copying metadata between files.
