Enter metadata
Metadata can be added to single items after they are added to your project spreadsheet or added to multiple items before they are imported into your project spreadsheet. When adding multiple items, you can enter metadata with a tab-delimited text file. See Use tab-delimited text files for more information.
After adding items, you can add metadata to individual items by typing text directly into the project spreadsheet. See Work with projects for more information. Or you can open individual items or objects in an Item Editing Tab and then type or import text. See Multiple files with tab-delimited text for more information.
Before adding items to your project, you can create default text common to a set of items by using the Metadata Templates, or mark items with a brand, watermark, or band, by configuring the Image Rights settings.
