From share link settings
When Show metadata is turned off for a share link, link visitors cannot see metadata for the shared content. Turning off Show metadata also disables the related custom-field visibility and custom-field editing controls for that link.
From a board context menu
Open a board’s three-dot context menu to view board creation metadata. The Creator and Date created fields appear at the bottom of the menu.
From asset preview
The asset title / file name can be found in the top left of the browser window. To view an asset's additional metadata click on the ℹ️ tab on the right side of the browser window. There you will find:
- Title / File name
- Description
- Tags
- Smart metadata (*)
- Date created
- File extension
- File size
- File resolution
- Date modified
- Date uploaded
- Uploader
- Source
- Asset ID
- Version ID
(*) Smart metadata is included for static images and will show smart tags where applicable. For video assets in workspaces with the Video Intelligence AI feature enabled, the Info panel also includes a smart summary in addition to smart tags.
From board or workspace view thumbnails
Thumbnails for assets and files in view can include the following details:
- Title / File name
- File extension
- File size
- File resolution (assets only)
- Custom fields (if enabled)
Asset thumbnails default to not showing asset details on the view thumbnails. To turn on this enhancement:
- On the right side of the view's browser window select the ⚙️ icon
- Toggle on 'Asset details'
From table view
Table view can include the following details:
- Title / File name
- File size
- Date created
- Date modified
- File resolution
- File extension
- Type
- Board count
- Tag count
- Comment count
- Custom fields (if enabled)
Table view is all about the metadata so Air allows you to pick and choose the data that's most important to you:
- On the right side of the view's browser window select the ⚙️ icon
- Toggle 👁️ on any metadata category you want included as a column in your table
- Toggle on 'Custom fields' (if enabled) to allow fields as columns in your table
- Toggle 👁️ on any custom fields to include desired fields/entries as columns in your table
