I am working on a proof of concept for a project that would involve uploading files to a custom object record and configuring custom fields to categorize the files in various ways. So far, I have researched enough to understand that I need to add the custom fields on the Content Version object, and I created a page layout containing my custom fields.  After uploading multiple files to my object record using the Files related list, I'm confused on how to actually edit the values of my new custom fields.  When I try to "Edit File Details" from the Files related list the custom fields do not display even though they are on my assigned page layout. I am only able to edit the Title and Description of the file. I can click "View File Details" and only then do my custom fields display.  From here I can then click "Edit File Details" and finally I get an editable page with my custom fields and can populate the values.  

So I guess my question is - is this how it's supposed to work? Are there any workarounds? SO. MANY. CLICKS!
