You can also add keywords by using the Find box at the bottom of the Keywords panel. Use commas to indicate
subkeywords and semicolons to indicate separate entries. For example, to add "Los Angeles" to the Places category,
select the "Places" keyword, type Los Angeles, and then click the New Sub Keyword button.
Add keywords to files
Select the file or files to add keywords to.

2 In the Keywords panel, select the box next to the name of the keyword or subkeyword. Shift-click the box to select
all parent keywords.
A check mark appears in the box next to the keyword when it's added to a selected file. If you select multiple files, but
the keyword was added to only some of them, a hyphen (-) appears in the keyword box.
Note: If you Shift-click a subkeyword, the parent keywords are also added to the file. To change the behavior so that
clicking a subkeyword automatically adds the parent keywords (and Shift-clicking adds only the subkeyword), select
Automatically Apply Parent Keywords in Keywords preferences.
Remove keywords from a file
•
To remove the check mark, select the file, and then click the box next to the name of the keyword or keyword set.
To remove the check mark from all parent keywords as well, Shift-click the keyword box.
•
To remove a check mark forcibly, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the keyword box. This method is
especially useful when you select multiple files to which the keyword was applied only to some, causing a hyphen
to appear in the keyword box. To forcibly remove a check mark from a keyword and its parents, press Alt+Shift
(Windows) or Option+Shift (Mac OS) and click the keyword box.
•
Select the file, and then choose Remove Keywords from the Keywords panel menu. To remove all keywords from
the file, click Yes.
To lock a file so that keywords can't accidentally be removed, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the file
in the Content panel and choose Lock Item. When an item is locked, you cannot add or remove keywords, edit
metadata, or apply labels or ratings.
Manage keywords
❖
Do any of the following:
•
To rename a keyword, select the keyword or keyword set and choose Rename from the panel menu. Then, type over
the name in the panel and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
Note: When you rename a keyword, the name changes only for the selected files. The original keyword name stays in all
other files to which the keyword was previously added.
• To move a keyword to a different keyword group, drag the keyword to the parent keyword in which it should
appear, and then release the mouse button.
• To change a subkeyword to a keyword, drag the subkeyword below the list of keywords, to the bottom of the
Keywords panel.
•
To delete a keyword, select the keyword by clicking its name, and then click the Delete Keyword button
bottom of the panel or choose Delete from the panel menu.
Note: Temporary keywords, such as keywords that you get from other users, appear in italics in the Keywords panel. To
make temporary keywords permanent in Adobe Bridge, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the keyword and
choose Make Permanent from the context menu.

To expand or collapse keyword categories, click the arrow next to the category, or choose Expand All or Collapse
