Update Metadata and Tags on Multiple Files

Please note, only users with admin capabilities can edit files.

Sometimes you need to update many files at once with new metadata, descriptions or Tags and our selection tool makes it easy to do that. 

1. Find the files or folders that you want to update and select them by checking the box in the upper left corner of the thumbnail or by using the black drop-down bar to add everything on the page or in the folder. 

Please note, if you have more than one page of assets, hitting the "select all" option at the top left will only add the assets on the page that is currently being viewed. To select an entire folder of assets, you must use the dropdown bar as pictured here: 

2. Click on the "More" button on the right side of the black drop-down bar. 

3. Click Add Metadata to add new metadata to the metadata fields. Click Add Tags to add new Tags from your Tag Set.

4. This will bring up a new window where you can add your new Metadata or Tags. When you are finished, click Update. 

Please note that you do have the option to overwrite any of the metadata fields with this pop up. Just check the box in the lower left to overwrite that data.
