    <p>This assumes the reader knows how to sort and search documents and
      collections. By the end of this page, the reader will be able to:
     - Explain how you can view metadata, and what metadata is typically stored.
     - Mention that this metadata is searched.</p>
  </comment>

   <p>When a document is created, it comes with <em>metadata</em>.
    <app>Documents</app> displays the following metadata for each document:</p>
    
   <list>
     <item><p>Title: the name of the document, which can be edited;</p></item>
     <item><p>Source: the path of the folder containing the document;</p></item>
     <item><p>Date Modified;</p></item>
     <item><p>Type: the <link xref="documents-formats">file format</link>
      of the document.</p></item>
   </list>
    
   <p>To see a document's properties:</p>
   <steps>
    <item><p>Click the <gui>Check</gui> button to switch to selection
     mode.</p></item>
    <item><p>Select a document.</p></item>
    <item><p>Click the <gui>Properties</gui> button at the right end of the
     button bar.</p></item>
   </steps>

   <note style="tip">
     <p>Some types of documents (e.g. PDF files) can be password protected,
     preventing access to their metadata or content.</p>

		 <p><app>Files</app> does not currently offer any mechanism to add privacy
			to a document. You may be able to do this from the application you used to
			create the document (e.g. <app>LibreOffice</app> or <app>Adobe Acrobat
			</app>).</p>
