MANAGING THE METADATA OVERLOAD

The Metadata palette provides much more information than the average person will ever need. If you don't need all this "metadata overload," you can set it up so it only displays the data you care about, giving you a more orderly, easier-to-read Metadata palette. To do this, go to the Metadata tab, click on the right-facing triangle button to the right of the tab, and from the pop-down menu, choose Metadata Display Options. In the dialog that appears, uncheck any fields you don't need displayed, turn on the Checkbox at the bottom for Hide Empty Fields, and click OK.
