Directory settings - Default file settings

You can use the standard file settings to define the file properties globally for the files in a directory. This allows you to set the settings in a central location or to specify the title, description, active navigation status, etc. globally.
All files that are not checked in or files with set inheritance take these file properties (options) or metadata (e.g. activate navigation status).

You can access the default file settings either via the directory functions (bar) (icon or ) or via the directory settings (General).

The description of the individual file properties can be found in the file properties (options) or the metadata. The standard file settings use the same mask and the same setting options, which is why it is not explained separately here.

The "Templates" tab is an exception to the "normal" file properties. The "Metadata template" field also appears here, which you can use to define the editing template for binary files (images, PDFs, Office documents, etc.) (e.g. standard.extension.php, multilanguage.extension.php, etc.).
