External Upload Sets will likely contain the assets you requested, but the uploader may have left out important metadata such as tags or the location. This is easily corrected by editing the metadata yourself. 



Edit External Upload Set Metadata

  1. Go to Assets > External Uploads
  2. Locate the set by searching or scrolling
  3. Click the pencil tool to the right of the Set's name
  4. Click Add Meta
  5. Add anything you feel is relevant
  6. Click Submit to save changes


If you want to quickly see which External Uploads are missing Metadata of any kind, you can click the column titled "Has Meta?" to have Vault sort the table contents accordingly.
