Adding metadata to assets using a taxonomy

Adding metadata from a taxonomy

When adding metadata to a single or a whole selection of assets, some fields in the metadata panel may have a taxonomy associated with them.

Clicking on the taxonomy icon next to that field opens a view where you can pick predefined metadata from a tree structure.

Depending on how the metadata fields have been configured, you may be limited to choosing content from the taxonomy only, or you may also be able to add a custom tag of choice to the field.

Having added metadata to the fields you wish to edit, click on the OK button at the bottom of the metadata panel to store the updated metadata.

Tip: If you're a taxonomy manager you can define the content that users can see and choose from in the taxonomy.
