How to export asset metadata

Updated yesterday

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 you must be an admin. Simply go to Admin > Import & Export > Generate CSV file:

Once it's finished generating, you'll then be able to download the CSV file; it'll 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
