What do the dashes in the volume column mean? I uploaded the keywords, and some keywords immediately had a volume, and some had dashes, although I haven't checked the volume yet.

Dashes indicate that the volume hasn't been checked. For some keywords, the volume is shown automatically. That's because it is stored in a common volumes base, and if other users have already checked it, it'll be shown immediately when adding keywords to the project.

I checked the volume, but some keywords still show dashes. What is the reason?
