## Current limitations
-Until [issue #5064][ee-5064] is completed, background verification doesn't cover
-CI job artifacts and traces, LFS objects, or user uploads in file storage.
-Verify their integrity manually by following [these instructions][foreground-verification]
-on both nodes, and comparing the output between them.
+Automatic background verification doesn't cover attachments, LFS objects,
+job artifacts, and user uploads in file storage. You can keep track of the
+progress to include them in [ee-1430]. For now, you can verify their integrity
+manually by following [these instructions][foreground-verification] on both
+nodes, and comparing the output between them.
+
+In GitLab EE 12.1, Geo calculates checksums for attachments, LFS objects and
+archived traces on secondary nodes after the transfer, compares it with the
+stored checksums, and rejects transfers if mismatched. Please note that Geo
+currently does not support an automatic way to verify these data if they have
+been synced before GitLab EE 12.1.
Data in object storage is **not verified**, as the object store is responsible
for ensuring the integrity of the data.
