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** file on your local machine.

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** file on your local machine.
