# Metadata

## Metadata

Metadata is a blueprint of the entire data which is presented in XML format.

The data is represented in an XML format so you can match up the changes from the last sync to the latest sync.

Any errors will be highlighted in a different color enabling the developer to fix only those errors.

**Follow the steps:**

* Click the Metadata icon from the main navigation toolbar ![](https://docs.mydbsync.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Flh7-us.googleusercontent.com%2FK8qfbDlNtdl2fAF6TpfnWuVKs05IBg-9CklbCgs_IHtxCcMP4ssoUtcTS1YpMPOUgGmpY3gEHq9ccDJ4n0_uD2MJ5MwK9te4Mh756KwrsVXFjyWKOQk920OcN0GSc6NB80PoNUlU1acvujS_c-jDxw\&width=300\&dpr=4\&quality=100\&sign=b0c85dcd32c40a01e280d87510030a49f012b6dfaa04556bb36416be32d0de7c)
