## Metadata in Distribution (MRSS)


When entries with custom metadata are distributed via MRSS feeds, the `kMetadataMrssManager` decorates each item with `<customData>` elements:


```xml
<item>
  <customData metadataId="67890" metadataVersion="3"
              metadataProfileId="12345" metadataProfileVersion="2">
    <metadata>
      <Department>Engineering</Department>
      <ProjectName>API Guides</ProjectName>
    </metadata>
  </customData>
</item>
```


The `metadataVersion` and `metadataProfileVersion` attributes track versions for incremental distribution updates.
