Tab General
The General tab shows system metadata:
- Sophora ID: The identifier (ID) of the document you'll work with
- External ID: An internal ID of the document used for imports, such as for tracking in external systems.
- UUID: A universally unique identifier (UUID) of the document
- Created by: The creator of the document
- Creation date: The creation date of the document
- Modified by: The last user who modified the document
- Modification date: The date this document has been last modified
- Published by: The user that published the document
- Publication date: The publication date of the document

- Section: The optional area of the site the document belongs to
- Path: The location of the document
Tab Custom
The Custom tab can be used to show properties of the document that are used to store metadata that is specific to your content. An example use case could be to declare specific IDs that are used in external systems to represent the same document (e.g. video encoding systems which hold data for a Sophora document representing a video), but it is completely up to you to decide what to show there. The specific restrictions what is possible and how to set it up are described on our administration page in the section "customMetaPropertyNames".
Tab References
The References tab shows all documents that reference the document. If the document is not referenced by any other document, the tab will be disabled.
Tab Components
The Components tab in the dialog will list the component structure of the document. If the document does not use any components, the tab will be disabled.
Tab Preview
If there is a default preview available for the document, a Preview tab will be shown in which the preview for the document will be embedded. It will show the last saved version of the document.
