3. In the search results, click the link for the asset of interest. The Asset Details page appears. 
4. If the asset has subfolders, navigate to the file of interest. (Click each folder to open it.)
5. Select one or more files:
   • To download the metadata of one file, click the Download File Metadata icon () in that row.
   • To select all files at the asset level, select the Batch Select checkbox. (To deselect one file, click the checkbox in that row.) Click Download Selected Metadata.

   A message appears, asking whether you want to include parent metadata in the download.
