Hi Chantal - In Lightroom, you have the option to save metadata to XMP files. If you enable that option, Mylio Photos can read those XMP files and all associated metadata, including keywords.

Does Mylio automatically import keywords associated to photos contained in lightroom catalogues or do we have to re-enter keyword(s) for each photo contained in Mylio?

Hi Gloria – You can search for keywords using Dynamic Search. Here are the instructions: https://manual.mylio.com/24.0/en/topic/using-dynamic-search-in-mylio-photos
If you want to limit your search to just keywords, you can use a custom search expression and enter “keyword: text”, for example:
keyword: coffee

I'm looking for how to Search on Keywords. That option has changed and I can't find it.
