Import metadata

Imports the specified metadata into this Vesper archive.

The metadata must be YAML text. The text can describe stations, devices (such as microphones and recorders), which devices were used at which stations during which time periods, and how the devices were connected (for example, which microphones were connected to which recorder channels). It can also describe processors and annotations. [Need to describe metadata YAML format in more detail, perhaps on another page that we link to here.]

Note that you can drag and drop a YAML file to the text area below to set the contents of the text area to the contents of the file.

Currently, some metadata imports (for example, ones that add detectors and/or classifiers) must be followed by a server restart to take full effect. We recommend restarting your server after every metadata import to avoid potential confusion.
