52To update the value of a piece of metadata, first choose the file to which that
53value applies, and then the metadata element whose value you want to change.
54Your selection appears in the metadata edit controls. Edit the value field and
55click "Replace" to alter the metadata.
56<p></p>
57The process is the same when updating a folder with child folders or multiple
58files, except that when you click "Replace" you are asked what to do with the
59other files. The buttons offer different options: "Replace" replaces any
60previous value with the new one; "Replace All" adds the new value in the same
61way to all other files; "Skip File" skips the current file and proceeds to the
62next; "Cancel" undoes any changes and cancels the action. You can only update
63metadata that is common to all files selected. For a folder, this means that
64all its contents must share the same metadata.
65<p></p>
66The value tree shows all previous values, not just those currently assigned.
67Thus the value you have replaced will remain in the value tree.
