# Editing media details

## Media details

Media details such as date, country and notes can be included to enhance filtering options and provide more information about the media.

1. Name
   * The name of the media can be changed here. However, the file type cannot be changed.
2. Tags
   * Tags are Pinpoint's primary method of categorising media. See [Tagging](/pinpoint-guide/user-guides/desktop-laptop/tagging.md) for more information!
3. Country/Region
   * Type and select the desired country/region from the drop-down list.
4. Date
   * The date of the media can be edited using the calendar on the date field.
5. Source URL
   * Reference links for the source of media if applicable.
6. Notes
   * Short descriptions can also be added to media, providing context and details. 

## How to edit metadata

1. Select media to edit by clicking on it; the <mark style="color:purple;">**purple outline**</mark> indicates selection, with media details displayed on the right.

   * Multiple media can be individually selected by <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>-clicking.
   * A range of media can be selected by <kbd>Shift</kbd>-clicking.
   * Use the arrow keys <kbd>←</kbd> <kbd>→</kbd> to change the selection to the previous or next media file
   * Batch edits can also be done immediately after the upload as the newly uploaded files are automatically selected after a successful upload.
     * The message "Editing for XX items..." above the media details indicates batch editing is active

2. Navigate and make changes to desired fields.

   * If multiple media were selected, changes will be applied to **all selected media.**
   * For more information on tagging, see [Tagging](/pinpoint-guide/user-guides/desktop-laptop/tagging.md).

3. To complete, click "Save changes" on the bottom of the panel. &#x20;
4. Once saved, a pop-up message reading "Changes to media saved" will appear.

## Shared media details

When multiple media are selected, only the tags shared between all media will be shown for easy bulk addition and removal of tags.

For other media details, **similar details** shared between selected media would be displayed in their respective fields and **differences** would be displayed as:

* **Multiple countries**
* **Multiple dates**
* **Multiple reference links**
* **Multiple notes**
