Exactly what does “remove all” clear?

Title, author, subject, keywords and the creating program, and it deletes the embedded XMP record. The original creation date stays; the producer and modified date are overwritten by this edit.

Can I see the metadata before deciding?

Yes. Unless you already said remove or set, it shows the current title, author, creator and producer first.

If I only set a title and author, are the other properties kept?

Yes. Only title and author change; subject, keywords and software stay as they were.

When you'd use it

Your CV PDF still shows your old employer's name as the author in its properties.
A report exported from Word shows a draft filename as its title in browser tabs.
A tender document should not reveal which software and template your team used.
