Metafiles in Kentico CMS are files stored together with system objects. Typical examples of metafiles are:

 

E-commerce product images

web part thumbnails

widget thumbnails

page template thumbnails

etc.

 

All these files can be edited using WebDAV Edit mode — in the respective fields, you can find the Edit in client application (EditLayout) icon, just as highlighted in the screenshot below. Clicking the icon opens the document for editing in a client application (if there is an application for the particular file type installed on the client machine and if the application supports WebDAV).
