An additional .METADATA suffixed JSON file can be optionally included with your Audience Export, which help to gain more context regarding the exported audience.
For instance, an export named: AudienceABC-Client123-7956915742.TSV will come with the following sibling file AudienceABC-Client123-7956915742.TSV.METADATA
Examples
Here are some examples of pretty-printed JSON metadata files content for both types of exports:
1) IDs only (CSV | TSV files)

2) Clusters (JSON files)

How to Use It?
In the UI, simply toggle the checkbox to have a metadata file included during the export. If you do not wish to export the metadata file, you can uncheck this box.
