How do I edit metadata for a single asset?

  1. Open the asset’s Details page

  2. Click the pencil icon to enter edit mode

  3. Update the metadata fields (e.g., title, description, tags, author)

  4. Click Save to apply changes

  5. The updated metadata appears on the Details tab

How do I edit metadata for multiple assets?

  1. Select the assets you want to edit

  2. In the action bar, click Edit Details

  3. Update the metadata fields you want applied to all selected assets

  4. Click Save

  5. Confirm the update by opening one of the assets and checking the Details or Licensing tab

What metadata fields can I edit?

Details tab:

  • Description (uploaded assets only)

  • Location

  • Keywords

  • Alt Text

File Info tab:

  • View only—this data is not editable

Licensing tab:

  • Author (uploaded assets only)

  • Expiry Date

  • Usage Restrictions

💡 Pro Tips:

  • To change a location, delete the existing value first, then enter the new one

  • In the Keywords field, you can type a new keyword or choose from suggested terms

  • To update Usage Restrictions or Expiry Date, go to the Licensing tab

  • When batch editing, click a keyword to filter assets that already include that keyword

Heads up:

  • Expired assets are hidden from galleries, photo walls, Media Hub, and share portals

  • You cannot edit folders or galleries in metadata edit mode

    • To update these, use the plus icon in the asset details panel or manage them directly in the folder/gallery view

  • In batch editing, any changes you make will apply to all selected assets
