| Capability Summary | Shows both basic document details and access data for multi-dimensional tables, including file name, owner, creation time, document size, storage location, view count, viewer count, editor count, and detailed record export. | Microsoft 365 lets users view Office file properties and metadata such as title, author, subject, keywords, file size, and created or modified dates. | Google Docs and Drive provide file details such as owner and access information through the Details panel, with more emphasis on sharing information. | Notion page analytics shows total page views, repeat-view patterns, and information about who created, edited, or viewed a page and when. | Adobe Acrobat provides document properties and metadata tools for PDF files. |
