## Configure file metadata
|
|
|
|
Two elements of the metadata are configurable: file format and what's in the file. You configure each of these in difference places in Airbyte.
|
|
|
|
### Change the metadata format {#metadata-format}
|
|
|
|
To change the format of the metadata, change the output format on the Destination connector.
|
|
|
|
1. In the left navigation, click **Destinations**.
|
|
|
|
2. Choose your destination connector from the list, or [create a new one](getting-started/add-a-destination).
|
|
|
|
3. Under **Output Format**, choose the file format you want. You can also choose whether you want to compress the file, or if you want to flatten it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Click **Test and save**. Next time you sync, your metadata has the chosen format.
|
|
|
|
### Change what's in the metadata {#metadata-content}
|
|
|
|
You choose what appears in your metadata when setting up your connection.
|
|
|
|
1. In the left navigation, click **Connections**.
|
|
|
|
2. Choose your connection from the list, or [create a new one](getting-started/set-up-a-connection).
|
|
|
|
3. Click the **Schema** tab.
|
|
|
|
4. Open the stream that contains your files.
|
|
|
|
5. Select and deselect fields as needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Click **Save changes**. Next time you sync data, your metadata in your destination updates.
|
|
|
|
