                           You can create
new metadata templates in Bridge by using the Create Metadata Template
command or by modifying the metadata in the File Info dialog box
and saving it as a template.</p>

                        <p>You can save metadata in a template
to use as a starting point for populating metadata in InDesign documents
and other documents created with XMP‑enabled software. Templates
you create are stored in a shared location that all XMP‑enabled
software can access.</p>

                        <p>You can also save metadata in an XMP
file to share with other users or to apply to other files. Unlike
metadata templates, the XMP files do not appear in the File Information
menu.</p>
