# Project Metadata in Studio

> Manage Kodexa project metadata categories and properties in Studio, providing standardized values for document status, task fields, and project classifications.

The Metadata page lets you manage structured metadata categories used throughout your project. These categories provide standardized values for document status, task management, and other project-wide classifications.

## Metadata Categories

The following metadata categories are typically available:

* **Document Status** — Values for tracking document processing status
* **Task Status** — Values for tracking task lifecycle states
* **Task Tags** — Labels for categorizing and filtering tasks

Some categories are read-only and reflect analytics data derived from project activity.

## Managing Metadata

### Editing Values

For editable categories, you can add, rename, or remove values. These values become available in dropdowns, filters, and status selectors throughout the project.
