i think that's a good idea. @rofe @tripodsan, i think we have seen issues with the centralized metadata and multiple people editing / publishing things. i wonder what's the right way of breaking this up... also i think that the structure of the metadata sheet is probably subject to be reviewed anyway, as it usually is very sparse. |

Proposal to Support Multiple Metadata SpreadsheetsJustification:Some of the ACOM migration projects require Metadata.xlsx be used by web producers, QAs and developers. All for different reasons. The issue this presents is staged content is being published prematurely. The thought is if we could have additional sheets we could avoid these mishaps. Naming Conventions:Metadata.xlsx is the standard. Additional metadata sheets must be hyphenated like this: Duplication:Metadata.xlsx will continue to be the main spreadsheet and source of truth. If there’s duplication in any other metadata sheets the data in Metadata.xlsx should override it. |

come to think of it, i'd rather have a distinct list in the also, I'm afraid that a generic also, this would prevent potential problems with stray metadata sheets somewhere in the drafts.... another approach would be, that there can be only 1 metadata.xlsx per folder, and automatically limit the scope of the metadata to below that folder. but this would probably not do the initial requirement justice. |

Hi @tripodsan @rofe , is there a limit on how many additional metadata files the project can have? Contexton adobe.com we have a use case when the metadata needs to be added to the page without touching the original document.

well, there are 2 sides to this:
I think for now, this should not be a problem, but we might need to keep an eye on the sizes.
currently not. |

Over on the DC site we'd like the option to have multiple Metadata.xlsx files. The situation is the Metadata.xlsx file currently is used by engineering and web publishing. There have been some cases where content is prematurely publishing since our teams aren't on the same schedule. Ideally we'd like 2 Metadata.xlsx files so engineering can publish the items they need without also making the web publishing content live.
