| 5.4: Adding Previously Defined Metadata |

To add metadata that has an existing value, first select the file, then select the metadata element that you are assigning to, then select the required value from the value tree, expanding hierarchy folders as necessary. The value of the selected entry automatically appears in the metadata field (alternatively, use the value tree's auto-select and auto-complete features).

The process of adding metadata with already-existing values to folders or multiple files is just the same.
