# Metadata View

Nara allows you to access all the metadata for the currently selected media file. To view the available metadata you need to open the right-hand panel by clicking on the **Metadata View** button at the right-hand side of the bar at the top of the media browser view:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/5gihbwzlJtbEX6Ge5Kjd" alt="" width="306"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The Metadata View shows all the values for the currently selected media file:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/dDn4fhraRx6qPX2WcyuG" alt="" width="347"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
If more than one media file is currently selected, then metadata for the one with the brighter blue outline (the last one you clicked on) will be displayed.
{% endhint %}

Note that the metadata is read from the header of the media file - the actual fields available will depend on the file format.

## Exporting Metadata

All the metadata currently displayed in the Metadata View can be exported as text by clicking the **Copy to Clipboard** button at the bottom right-hand corner of the window:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/UGpQASb7fiiXL35ReF93" alt="" width="216"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
