1- Custom data attributes that are specific to your business.
2- Saved, followed, or equivalent data objects that expand over time
3- Any usage-based data attributes

The metadata is available via the Elements, SDKs, and APIs. The saved and followed functionality by default saved the articles the user saves or followed in the metadata. However, the SDKs and APIs give you the flexibility to modify the metadata directly.
