Metadata module


About

The Metadata module ensures data consistency and improves content organization. It requires essential fields like descriptions and tags to be filled, ensuring comprehensive metadata for each piece of content. The "Read more" feature shortens lengthy descriptions for better display, preserving content integrity. Additionally, customized tooltips provide guidance for users during content creation or editing. 

For the user guide, see Media metadata.
