Chorus can help you clean a batch of files containing legacy metadata, by applying only the metadata inherited from its parent space and folder.
When a file is uploaded into Chorus, it may come with pre-existing metadata already embedded in it. By default, when this file is uploaded into your site, Chorus will combine all pre-existing metadata with that of the folder and space into which it is uploaded. The file's own metadata takes priority.
If you prefer that parent folder or space metadata should overwrite any existing metadata in a field, choose Inherit when Batch Editing.
Step-by-step:
1. Select the files you want to edit by clicking on each file once. The total number of files in your selection is shown as a number in the right-hand sidebar.
2. Click Edit in the right-hand sidebar. An Edit menu will open.
3. Choose Batch Edit.
The Batch Edit modal will open.
4. For each of the metadata fields in which you want inherited parent metadata to override existing metadata, choose Inherit: Use the inherited text.
All other keyword, text, and number values that were once embedded in the file will be removed.
5. Click Save.
