How to suggest an edit for video metadata

Summary

• You cannot directly edit metadata for videos from the ClickView libraries.
• ClickView Administrators can suggest metadata edits for ClickView library videos.
• The ClickView content team reviews each suggestion after it’s submitted.
• Submit suggestions in Library Editor using Suggest an Edit (gray pencil icon).
• To update metadata for Library Editor uploads (school/district library) or My Videos uploads, follow the standard edit workflow instead.

What is video metadata?

Video metadata is the set of details attached to a video that helps people understand what it is about and find it more easily in search results. In ClickView, metadata includes information displayed with the video, such as title and description, and may include additional fields used for filtering and discoverability.

Before you start

Use Suggest an Edit when:

• The video is sourced from the ClickView libraries, and you have identified incorrect or missing information (for example, a title error or outdated description).
• You are a ClickView Administrator and can access Library Editor.

Do not use Suggest an Edit when:

• The video was uploaded to your school or district library via Library Editor and you have permission to edit it (Administrators can edit these directly in Library Editor).
• The video was uploaded to My Videos and you are the user who uploaded it (you can edit it directly in My Videos).

If you need to directly update metadata for a video uploaded via Library Editor (school/district library) or a video you uploaded to My Videos, follow How to edit video metadata.

Suggesting metadata changes

Accurate metadata helps educators and students find the right content quickly. While ClickView library videos cannot be edited directly by schools or districts, ClickView Administrators can submit suggested corrections through Library Editor for review.

Steps to suggest an edit

1. Sign in to ClickView with your Administrator account.
2. Click your name (top-right), then select Library Editor.
   
3. Locate the video you want to correct, then select Suggest an Edit using the gray pencil icon.
   
4. Select the blue link labeled “suggest an edit.“
   
5. Select the Metadata field you want to update.
   
6. Fill in the required fields with your suggestion, then select ‘Submit‘:
   

After you submit, the ClickView content team reviews the suggestion. The team may apply the update or decline it based on accuracy and relevance.
