Disabling feature-level metadata

While editing features, you might determine that you do not want the features you are editing to be populated with feature-level metadata attributes. If this is the case, you can turn off feature-level metadata. If you do so, the values populated in the feature-level metadata fields when you create new features will be the values stored in the feature template. When you disable feature-level metadata and modify a feature, the values in the feature-level metadata fields will not be updated.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, load data in the map.
