How to View EXIF Data in Lightroom 5

I recently upgraded to the latest release of LR5, version 5.7.1. In the previous version, I was able to display EXIF data for each photo in the Library module grid view (and loupe view too, I believe). Don't remember how I enabled that feature, but it was not hard. But for the life of me now, I can't figure out how to tell this latest version of LR5 to display the EXIF data. I googled, and I still don't find the solution. What am I missing? Surely this cannot be hard, right?!

Thanks.

Try this link that provides a description of the EXIF display in the library module as well as toggling 'info' in the loupe view.

Thanks. I see that lets you choose what EXIF data to display in the Metadata section on the right. Good to know. But I can already see EXIF data in the histogram in the top right. What am I am talking about is how to display the exposure data on each thumbnail photo in the grid view. I had this in the previous LR 5 release.

I believe if you go to the view menu under library view option and under Grid view expanded cells you can choose what is displayed on the cells

Thanks, mborn. I went to View/View Options, and on the Grid View tab, I selected "Exposure and ISO" in the Expanded Cell Extras. Yet that data does not appear on the previews in the Library view. So I don't know exactly what Expanded Cell Extras refers to. It does not seem to be what data is displayed on the preview in the grid view.

Bingo! Thank you! I'm amazed the solution here was so tricky. Should be an obvious option, plainly visible, that can be toggled on or off. Jeeeez. Anyway, thanks again, mborn!
