<p>This assumes the reader knows how to sort and search documents and
collections. By the end of this page, the reader will be able to:
- Explain how you can view metadata, and what metadata is typically stored.
- Mention that this metadata is searched.</p>
</comment>
<p>When a document is created, it comes with <em>metadata</em>.
<app>Documents</app> displays the following metadata for each document:</p>
<list>
<item><p>Title: the name of the document, which can be edited;</p></item>
<item><p>Source: the path of the folder containing the document;</p></item>
<item><p>Date Modified;</p></item>
<item><p>Type: the <link xref="documents-formats">file format</link>
of the document.</p></item>
</list>
<p>To see a document's properties:</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click the <gui>Check</gui> button to switch to selection
mode.</p></item>
<item><p>Select a document.</p></item>
<item><p>Click the <gui>Properties</gui> button at the right end of the
button bar.</p></item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>Some types of documents (e.g. PDF files) can be password protected,
preventing access to their metadata or content.</p>
</note>
<note style="info">
<p><app>Documents</app> does not currently offer any mechanism to add
privacy to a document. You may be able to do this from the application you
used to create the document (e.g. <app>LibreOffice</app> or
<app>Adobe Acrobat</app>).</p>
