Old videos are a channel’s hidden treasure. When you update old YouTube videos’ SEO, YouTube reads them again and can show them to new searchers.
Showcase reminds you when a video was fixed 7+ days ago and is ready for a refresh.
- Fix weak videos first (score under 70).
- Refresh after 7 days, not every day.

What to change
The first 2 lines of the description, missing tags, and a clearer title if the old one is vague.
