Changes starting on Sept 1, 2020:

The two new attributes product_highlight and product_detail could be worth implementing on high-value products. These attributes harken back to the day of custom attributes and may surface on Google "enhanced listings" in the near future -- the VersaFeed team will be keeping a close eye on them.
