Who can view metadata on Air?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone that has view access to the workspace, library, board, or public URL
Air allows you to automatically add your content with metadata attached. This will appear on the asset and can easily be viewed, searched, and filtered on Air. There are metadata fields that you can create, view, and modify solely through Air. In this article, these metadata types are referred to as 'Air Exclusive Metadata'.
When you import or export content to Air, the following metadata will be included, if available:
Title / File name
Resolution
File type
Size
Date created
Asset Info Tab
From any full asset or file preview, the open info tab (ℹ) will reveal the imported metadata unique to the asset or file.

Custom Metadata Imports
Content can live in a variety of places especially for dispersed teams. Maintaining your metadata during a migration is critical to a seamless transition to Air from other DAMs and storage solutions. Air offers custom migrations that keep your metadata in place. We have run these migrations from Dropbox, Google Drive, Bynder, Brandfolder, Photoshelter, and many more services. Your enterprise success manager helps guide you through the process and your content's metadata shows on Air seamlessly.
