What is metadata?
Metadata is all of the information stored in Dash about your assets, including:
Their filename
What folder/s they are stored in
The values of all custom field information for them
This can be useful if you want to append metadata when doing a metadata import, or if you are migrating away from Dash to a different system.
How to export your metadata
To export your metadata:
As an admin, navigate to Admin > Import & Export > Metadata
In the Export metadata section, click Generate CSV file
Dash will then prepare your metadata export file. Depending on how many assets you have, this can take some time.
Once it's finished generating, you'll then be able to download the CSV file. A link to download the file will also be emailed to you.
What isn't included
The following assets are not included in a metadata export:
Assets in the bin
Assets in a user's upload area (i.e. before clicking "Done")
Unapproved assets
