### Synchronizing metadata
When resolving duplicates, metadata from trashed assets is automatically synchronized to the kept assets. The following metadata is synchronized:
When resolving duplicates, metadata from trashed assets is automatically synchronized to the kept asset. This synchronization only happens when **exactly one** asset is kept and at least one asset is trashed. When more than one asset is kept, metadata is not merged — the assets keep their own metadata and are simply removed from the duplicate group. The following metadata is synchronized:
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Album | The kept assets will be added to _every_ album that the other assets in the group belong to. |
| Favorite | If any of the assets in the group have been added to favorites, every kept asset will also be added to favorites. |
| Rating | If one or more assets in the duplicate group have a rating, the highest rating is selected and synchronized to the kept assets. |
| Description | Descriptions from each asset are combined together and synchronized to all the kept assets. |
| Visibility | The most restrictive visibility is applied to the kept assets. |
| Location | Latitude and longitude are copied if all assets with geolocation data in the group share the same coordinates. |
| Tag | Tags from all assets in the group are merged and applied to every kept asset. |
