Metadata overlays overview

Using several basic controls, you can turn metadata overlays on or off, specify the type of metadata that appears in overlays in the Viewer and Browser, and choose the type of overlay view to display (caption-style or floating tooltips).

Some metadata overlay views are specifically designed for displaying information in the Viewer, in the Browser in grid view or list view, or in metadata tooltips. The following table lists the metadata overlay views that you can choose and the information that each view displays.
