How-to | Add metadata to a project for sharing#

Users who want to share a project might want to add metadata that helps other users understand the project.

The metadata will be attached to the project when it’s downloaded as a zip file and shared with other users directly or via the Enterprise Asset Library.

To add project metadata:

  1. Go to the Code menu (Code icon.) > Libraries > Resources tab.

  2. Right-click on the lib folder and create a folder called metadata.

  3. Create a file named project.json in the folder.

  4. Copy and paste this JSON template into the file editor:

{
   "id": "PROJECT_ID",
   "name": "project name",
   "description": "project description",
   "version": "1.0.0",
   "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
}
  1. Replace the dummy text on each line with your project’s information.

  2. Optionally, create another file in the metadata folder called README.md and add a richer description in Markdown.

  3. Click Save All.
