Add metadata using the File Info dialog box

The File Info dialog box displays camera data, other file properties, an edit history, copyright, and author information. The File Info dialog box also displays custom metadata panels. You can add metadata directly in the File Info dialog box. If you select multiple files, the dialog box shows where different values exist for a text field. Any information you enter in a field overrides existing metadata and applies the new value to all selected files.
Note: You can also view metadata in the Metadata panel, in certain views in the Content panel, and by placing the pointer over the thumbnail in the Content panel.
