Updated over a week ago

Bild's Data Card (Right Info Drawer) lets users view key information about every file. Within a data card, you will find a file's metadata, parent/child references, STEP/Native file download, and all the file's history.

  1. Single-click on the file that you want to edit the metadata for, this will open the file information drawer

  2. Scroll down to the "Metadata" section, here you will see all the metadata associated with the file

  3. Click on the "Edit" button located in the top-right corner of the metadata section

4. Edit the metadata fields as needed, you can add, edit or remove the values of the metadata fields

5. Once you have made the changes, select the "Update" button to save all changes

πŸ’‘ If you want to add global metadata properties that can be applied to all your files in Bild, you can do so via the account settings.
