Learn how to view and edit the metadata of your assets in Adobe Bridge.
View metadata
Do any of the following:
- Select one or more files and view the information in the Metadata panel. If you select multiple files, only metadata that is common to the files appears. Use the scroll bars to view hidden categories. Click the triangle to display everything within a category.
Note
You can change the typeface size in the panel by choosing Increase Font Size or Decrease Font Size from the panel menu.
- Select one or more files and choose File >File Info. Then, select any of the categories listed at the top of the dialog box. Use the left and right arrows to scroll categories, or click the down arrow and select a category from the list.
- Choose View > As Details to display the metadata next to the thumbnails in the Content panel.
- Choose View > As List to display the metadata in columns in the Content panel.
- Position the pointer over a thumbnail in the content area. (Metadata appears in a tool tip only if Show Tooltips is selected in Thumbnails preferences.)
