If metadata is loaded for a file, but the extracted text does not exist, what does a user see?

When metadata is loaded for a file, but the extracted text is absent, users will see a blank placeholder. This scenario typically occurs in document management systems or electronic discovery tools when the system can retrieve metadata associated with a document (such as title, author, date created, etc.) but fails to extract or provide the actual text content of that document.

The blank placeholder serves to indicate that while some attributes of the document are identifiable through metadata, the main content that would normally be displayed (the extracted text) is missing. This visual cue helps users understand that the document is not fully available and prompts them to investigate further or take necessary actions.

In contrast, if the actual document image were displayed, users would have access to visual data, which is not the case when text extraction fails. Warnings along with extracted text would typically imply that the text content exists with issues, which is also not applicable here. A partial document along with metadata assumes that some content is available, which contradicts the scenario described.
