You can create a metadata preset to easily add the correct metadata to your asset during the upload process. Metadata presets are pre-defined sets of metadata that can include descriptions, text fields, metaproperty options, advanced options, custom fields, and collections. They can be applied to future uploads to add the correct metadata automatically. This helps to prevent mistakes and ensures that your assets are always properly tagged. You can share and restrict the visibility of these presets to certain users.
Metadata presets are only available during upload and not when batch editing assets.
Presets do not overwrite previous selections but add the data to the existing information.

How to Apply a Metadata Preset During Upload

In the left sidebar, select a preset dropdown and click the preset you want to apply to the selected assets.
-
Finish the upload.

Note
Metadata presets do not overwrite any data selected previously. You can manually select some of the metaproperty options and then choose a preset. In this case, the data from the preset will be added to the previously selected data. Similarly, if you switch from one preset to another, any selection from the first preset will be kept, and extra information from the second preset will be added to the top.
Presets cannot be reordered in a custom sequence.
