# Managing the metadata

You can add, remove and edit the entities and attributes according to your needs. All management tasks are performed in the **Manage Metadata** window, which you can open using one of the following methods:

* Click the **Manage** button at the bottom left of the **Metadata** panel.
* Click the **Entities** number in the **Metadata** panel.
* Select **Manage** from the drop-down menu in the top right of the **Metadata** panel.

The **Manage Metadata** window is split into two tabs: The **Logical Metadata** tab and the **Physical Metadata** tab. The **Logical Metadata** tab shows the entities and attributes as they appear in the Metadata whereas the **Physical Metadata** tab provides a preview of the actual tables (and columns) that will be created in the Storage Zone.

In the **Logical Metadata** tab, you can perform various management tasks such as adding and/or editing entities and attributes.
