Import metadata from an XMP file

document and add the new metadata, keep all but the matching metadata, or add matching metadata to the existing metadata.

Choose File >File Info (InDesign) or File > Content File Info (InCopy).

Choose an XMP file from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, select an import option, and click OK.

Choose Import from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, select an import option, and click OK. Then double-click the XMP
template file you want to import.

Edit metadata in image files

When you generate captions of placed images in InDesign, the metadata from the placed image is used. Although you can edit the metadata of
InDesign documents, you cannot edit the metadata of placed files in InDesign. Instead, change the metadata of placed images using their original
applications, using Finder or Explorer, or using Adobe Bridge or Adobe Mini Bridge.

1. In InDesign, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the image, and then choose Edit Original.

You can also choose Edit With and then choose an application such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.

2. In the original application, choose File > File Info.

3. Edit the metadata, and then click OK.

You can also select an image in Adobe Bridge and choose File > File Info to edit the image metadata. See

Add metadata using the File Info dialog

box
