Read File Meta

Returns the metadata kept for a file in your project: label, tags, description, publishing details (channels, caption, hashtags), source path, export date, format and resolution. It reads the file's metadata sidecar first and, for older design and composition files that carry their metadata inside them, falls back to reading it from the file.

It also returns the file's stored version, taken from storage (an etag or modification time). Keep that value and compare it later to see whether anyone changed the file since you read it.

When a file has no metadata, the version still comes back. It currently runs inside Syvon.
