Choose File > Properties, click the Description tab, and then click Additional Metadata.Select Advanced from the list on the left.

To edit the metadata, do any of the following, and then click OK.
To add previously saved information, click Append, select an XMP or FFO file, and click Open.

To add new information and replace the current metadata with information stored in an XMP file, click Replace, select a saved XMP or FFO file, and click Open. New properties are added, existing properties that are also specified in the new file are replaced, and existing properties that are not in the replacement file remain in the metadata.

To delete an XML schema, select it and click Delete.

To append the current metadata with metadata from a template, hold down Ctrl/Command (and choose a template name from the dialog box menu in the upper right corner.
