# YAML front matter setting (Include title and tags)
#### Scenario 1:
If you have configured **YAML front matter settings** for notes and have added additional note metadata, redundant **YAML front matter text** text will appear in the downloaded **.md** <i class="fa fa-file-text"></i> file on your local machine.


#### Scenario 2:
If you have only added **YAML front matter settings** for notes or only added additional note metadata, the **YAML front matter text** will only appear once in the downloaded **.md** <i class="fa fa-file-text"></i> file on your local machine.
