# 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:

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

{% 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:
