To apply keywords to files with Bridge

The Keyword panel lets you create and apply Bridge keywords to files. Keywords can be organized into categories
called keyword sets. Using keywords, you identify files based on their content. Later, you can view all files with shared
keywords as a group.
Note: Bridge keywords are distinct from XMP keywords created with the File Info dialog box. The latter are displayed
in Version Cue files in the "Other Metadata" section of the File Info dialog box.

Do any of the following:
•
To add a keyword to files, select one or more files. In the Keywords panel, click the box next to the name of the
keyword you want to add. A check mark appears in the box next to the keyword when it's added to a file.
