  <title>Find information about documents</title>

  <p>When a document is created, it contains <em>metadata</em>.
  <app>Documents</app> displays the following metadata for each document:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Title: the name of the document, which can be edited;</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Source: the path to the folder containing the document;</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Date Modified;</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Type: the <link xref="formats">file format</link> of the document.</p>
    </item>
  </list>
    
  <p>To see a document's properties:</p>
  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Click the check button to switch to selection mode.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select a document.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click the <gui>Properties</gui> button at the right end of the button
      bar.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>Some types of documents (e.g. PDF files) can be password protected,
    preventing access to their metadata or content.</p>
  </note>

  <note style="info">
    <p><app>Documents</app> does not currently offer any mechanism to add
    privacy to a document. You may be able to do this from the application you
    used to create the document (e.g. <app>LibreOffice</app> or <app>Adobe
    Acrobat</app>).</p>
