# 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] As verificações de metadados estendidos para tokens estão em versão prévia pública e sujeitas a alterações.

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 [Criando uma configuração de segurança personalizada](/pt/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-organization-security/establish-complete-coverage/creating-a-custom-security-configuration) or [Criando uma configuração de segurança personalizada para sua empresa](/pt/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 [Ativar verificações de validade para o repositório](/pt/code-security/secret-scanning/enabling-secret-scanning-features/enabling-validity-checks-for-your-repository#enabling-validity-checks).
