                           The
Keywords panel lets you create and apply Bridge keywords to files.
Keywords can be organized into categories called <dfn class="term">keyword sets</dfn>.
Using keywords, you identify files based on their content. Later,
you can view all files with shared keywords as a group.</p>

                        <p>For
a video on keywords, see <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/vid0095" target="_blank">www.adobe.com/go/vid0095</a>.</p>
