# View object metadata

You can view and interact with Microsoft Visio object metadata.

1. Choose Tools > Object Data > Object Data Tool.
2. Place the pointer over an object. If the object contains Visio object data, the pointer changes to a cross hair. Double-click to view the metadata in the Model Tree.

You can interact with the metadata by choosing a command, such as Count or Select All Same, from the Options menu in the Model Tree panel.
