How do I add a meta description to a catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can add a meta description to your catalogs and subcatalogs.

A meta description is an HTML tag that provides a brief summary about the content of the page. Search engines display this description below your page's title in the search results, helping you attract users by indicating that your page contains the information they're seeking.
