Learn how to import metadata into a document in Adobe Bridge.

Select one or more files.

Choose File > File Info.

Choose Import from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box.

Note

You must save a metadata template before you can import metadata from a template.

Specify how you want to import the data:

Replaces all metadata in the file with the metadata in the XMP file.

Replaces only metadata that has different properties in the template.

(Default) Applies the template metadata only where no metadata value or property currently exists in the file.

Select OK.

Navigate to the XMP text file and select Open.
