- View content
- Click on Import Metadata button (top right)

Notes:
- To import metadata it must be in CSV Format
- The first row must contain the header
- The first column of the header must be the original file name followed by your own metadata fields. Eg Filename, Author, Copyright, etc.
- Below the header input the metadata values. Eg Sample PIc, John Doe, Getty, etc.
