Article properties (or metadata) in an Adobe Digital Publishing Suite app provide descriptive information about an article and determine how the article will appear in the viewer’s navigation.

Details are input in the Folio Builder panel or later on in the Folio Producer. These properties include Title, Byline, Kicker, Description, Advertisement, Hide From Table of Contents, Smooth Scrolling, Horizontal Swipe Only, and the Table of Contents Preview image.

Another method to input article properties is to use a single XML file called a sidecar. See the TFP DPS Tips blog for details on how to do this.

Visit Adobe’s Managing Articles page for more information about article properties.
