Add custom metadata

||Connect docs via MCP

Who can do this?

Any user with permission to edit custom metadata can add or change custom metadata values on assets. (An admin user must first create the custom metadata structures for those values, though.)

To add custom metadata to an asset:

1. On the Atlan homepage, click on all assets.

   If you are using the Old UI (Classic), click Assets in the left menu.

2. Navigate to the asset by searching, through discovery, or through the Chrome extension.

3. In the right sidebar, click the icon for the metadata structure you want to enrich.

4. If no values yet exist, click the Start editing button. Otherwise, in the upper-right of the custom metadata panel in the sidebar, click the Edit button.

5. Enter values for any properties you want to enrich. (You don't need to fill in every property.)

6. In the upper-right of the custom metadata panel in the sidebar, click the Update button.

That's it, the asset is now enriched with your organization's own custom metadata! 🎉
