# Document Metadata

Laserfiche documents can contain additional information, besides that contained in the actual images, text and electronic files. This information is called metadata.

You can view a document's metadata by opening the metadata dialog directly, or by viewing the document in the Document Viewer. To open the metadata dialog directly:

1. Select a document and open the **Action** menu.
2. Select the metadata type you want to view: **View Fields**, **View Tags**, **View** **Document Links** or **View Versions**.

The Metadata dialog has four tabs – one for each metadata type – and the tab for the metadata type you selected will automatically be opened. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-1638086270362.png)
