Add Metadata in Console

In this How-to, we’ll go through the process of adding a metadata to one of our several supported systems. The process is the same for all other systems that support metadata: catalog items (link), progressions (link) and currencies(link).

Prerequisites

Navigate to the feature that you want to edit and click on metadata to edit metadata for this item.
