Paper metadata controls how public paper pages appear in search and link previews.

What metadata includes

Paper metadata covers:

• Basic SEO fields (title, metaDescription, canonical, robots, keywords)
• Open Graph fields
• Twitter fields
• JSON-LD fields

See Paper metadata for field mapping.

Open metadata editor

In the editor top bar action menu, choose Metadata.

Generate metadata

Use Generate to auto-fill metadata from title/body context. Generating replaces current draft values in the metadata dialog.

Edit metadata manually

You can edit every metadata field, including image fields.

Typical manual overrides:

• canonical for syndication source control
• robots for indexing behavior
• ogImage and twitterImage for social preview quality

Save behavior

Metadata dialog Save writes to the paper's in-editor state. Changes are persisted to backend when you save the paper.

When metadata takes effect

Metadata affects public paper pages once the paper is publicly accessible and saved.
