What Happens When a Metadata Definition is Edited?
If you create a metadata definition, assign it to a folder, then users insert metadata information into their content, the collected information takes on the charateristics of the metadata definition. For example, if the metadata is title and its type is HTML tag, this is how it appears in the Web page's source code.
<title>CMS Developer</title>If you later change its type to Meta, the following effects occur:
- metadata to which the definition has already been assigned maintains the previous style definition. For example, <title>CMS Developer</title>.
- when you create a new content block that uses the metadata definition, its metadata takes on the new style. For example, <meta name="title" content="CMS developer">.
