# Manage metafields

> Choose which metafields Atlios tracks, set their scope, and stop tracking ones you do not need.

Atlios tracks the metafields you choose and checks them during scans. Tracked
metafields are also the ones you can edit on the product page. Manage them from
the **Metafields** group in the [Glossary](/product/glossary).

## Scope

Each tracked metafield has a **scope**:

* **Product:** the metafield applies to the whole product.
* **Variant:** the metafield applies to an individual variant.

Scope decides where the metafield appears and how it is checked, so set it to
match how the metafield is used on your products.

## Add metafields

Use **Add** to start tracking more metafields. You can pick from several
sources:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Google MC">
    Google Merchant Center attributes, such as Brand or Product category. These
    can be locked to Google's allowed values.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Shopify">
    Metafield definitions that already exist in your Shopify store.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="On products">
    Metafields Atlios saw on your products during the last scan but is not yet
    tracking.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Manual">
    Enter a metafield's namespace and key by hand.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Select the metafields you want from any source, then add them. They start
appearing on product pages and in scans.

## Filter and search

The metafields table can get long. Search by name or code, and filter by source
so you can find a specific metafield quickly. Each row shows its name, source,
and scope.

## Stop tracking

To stop checking a metafield, remove it from tracking. Select one or more
metafields and use **Stop tracking**. This does not delete anything in Shopify,
it only tells Atlios to stop tracking and checking those metafields.

<Tip>
  For Google Merchant Center attributes, you can lock a metafield to Google's
  allowed values so a scan flags anything outside the official list.
