Default & Enforced Keywords

Use this dialog to define a standard set of keywords for subsite pages, uploaded documents, registered URLs, or images. By default, keywords are available when creating or editing content, and the Select Keywords option is available from Standard Properties. Site Administrators can enable/disable keyword usage for each content type through Page Creation/Properties UI settings

Default keywords display to authors as modifiable entries in the Select Keywords dialog during file creation, upload, or editing. (See the Contributor's Reference for details.) Define the set of keywords authors and editors are most likely to use, to save time during page creation and to establish a consistent classification structure.
Enforced keywords are non-modifiable terms associated with every content type for which they are defined.

Note that:

Enforced keywords are considered by Page Index queries.
Enforced keywords are appended to pages in the order specified after any page-specific keywords.
Keywords are case-sensitive on all database platforms.

Default Page Keywords: Default Keywords are similar to Enforced Keywords except that authors can add, modify, or remove them. Create or change a comma-separated list, or click the Select button to choose from existing keywords.

Enforced Page Keywords: Create or change a comma-delimited list of terms to always include as <meta> tags in the <head> section for pages, or click the Select button to choose from existing enforced keywords.

See the Contributor's Reference for details on these options.

Defining either enforced or default keywords gives you options for applying them to child subsites (if any).

For this update only, in subsites below: A dropdown list of options for handling keywords in lower level subsites. Use this feature to automatically propagate keyword changes to existing child subsites. Note that this runs for one time only and will not apply to new subsites.

Pick from the following options:

Do nothing: The keywords you add do not propagate to pages in child subsites, although they display to users who choose to view them.
Append to existing keywords: Adds this list of terms in the order you specify to existing keywords for pages in child subsites.
Replace existing keywords: Uses this list in place of existing keywords in child subsites.
