Updating collection metadata

With Highlight, you can edit the image and metadata of your collection from the collection management page.

Note: This applies only to open editions, limited editions, and one-of-ones. Generative and series collections are not supported.

Updating image metadata for Edition collections

To update collection metadata, go to the collection management page of the collection you want to update, then navigate to the "Metadata" section.

Click "Edit". On this module, you can update the image or description metadata.

Save updates by confirming a transaction, and you're set!

Updating image metadata for Series collections

Note: this is only for random reveal series. Using this method, you can update the metadata of your series collection by updating the baseURI.

  1. Deploy your collection to mainnet. We'll call this your "actual" collection. To update the metadata, you'll want to update the baseURI, which is used to define where metadata files for the tokens are hosted.

  2. To create an updated BaseURI, you'll want to create another collection with the updated and/or final metadata file. We'll call this collection the "dummy" collection. Some notes:

    1. This collection can be deployed to testnet and we recommend using a burner wallet.

    2. The metadata.json file should contain all updated images and metadata.

    3. Deploy as random series.

    4. Once deployed, mint all from the collection.

  3. Grab the baseURI of the "dummy" collection. To do this:

    1. Go to block explorer → Read as proxy → Field 2 “BaseURI” → copy URL

  4. Head to block explorer for the "actual" collection and update the baseURI with the updated string from the "dummy" collection. To do this:

    1. Go to block explorer → Write as proxy → Connect to web3 → Field 20 “setBaseURI” → confirm transaction

  5. Send an email to the Highlight team to update metadata (self-serve coming soon). Refresh metadata on third parties as necessary.
