# Enabling extended metadata checks for your repository

Learn how to enable extended metadata checks for detected secrets so alerts detected by secret scanning include additional information that help you assess and remediate leaks faster.

> \[!NOTE] 토큰에 대한 확장 메타데이터 검사는 공개 미리 보기로 제공되며 변경될 수 있습니다.

This article shows how you can enable extended metadata checks for individual repositories through repository settings. Alternatively, you can enable them at scale using **security configurations** at the organization or enterprise level. See [사용자 정의 보안 구성 생성하기](/ko/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-organization-security/establish-complete-coverage/creating-a-custom-security-configuration) or [기업을 위한 맞춤형 보안 구성 만들기](/ko/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-enterprise-security/establish-complete-coverage/creating-a-custom-security-configuration-for-your-enterprise).

## Prerequisites

Before enabling metadata checks, you need to ensure that validity checks are enabled for the repository. See [리포지토리에 대한 유효성 검사 사용](/ko/code-security/secret-scanning/enabling-secret-scanning-features/enabling-validity-checks-for-your-repository#enabling-validity-checks).
