Save metadata as a template or XMP file

You can save metadata in a template to use as a starting point for populating InDesign documents and other documents created with XMP-enabled applications. Templates you create are stored in a shared location that all XMP-enabled applications can access.

You can also save metadata in an XMP file to share with other users. Unlike metadata templates, the XMP files don’t appear in the File Information menu.

  1. Choose File > File Info (InDesign) or File > Content File Info (Adobe InCopy).
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To save metadata as a template, click the triangle at the top of the dialog box, and choose Save Metadata Template. Enter a template name, and click Save.

    • To save metadata to an XMP file, click Save in the Advanced section of the dialog box. Type a filename, choose a location for the file, and click Save.

    To view metadata templates in Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS), choose Show Templates from the File Information menu.
