# Feature: #99165 - Add "Edit Metadata" button to element information view {#feature-99165-1669201746}

See [forge#99165](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/99165)

## Description {#description}

A new button **Edit Metadata** has been added to the element information
view of files. It allows to directly edit corresponding Metadata without leaving
the context. The element information view for files can be accessed via the
context menu or via the secondary action of files in any file listing, for
example, in the **File > Filelist** module or the **File selector**.

## Impact {#impact}

It's now possible to edit a file's Metadata directly in the element information
view, which improves the UX as the context is not lost.
