Tip
-
When you add files, different file types (image, audio, video, document and so on) have different metadata. Typically, some metadata that is specific to the audio or video file is automatically added when create a new session from a device, or you extract the audio from a video file. Such metadata is not editable, and appears with a lighter font.

Contributors and
Notes tabs only appear with parent files, not subordinate files (example). -
-

Asterisks indicate that SayMore added a Warning to the Notes tab, such as for an ambiguous date format in the metadata. In this case, follow the instructions given in the Warning message.
