Adding Other Media Types Contents
As a content management system, GeoNode also allows uploading datasets that are not strictly georeferenced, i.e. media contents that do not have any sort of geospatial information, like the datasets.
GeoNode supports multiple media types, like documents, PDFs, images, videos, and audio.
To get a full list of the media types supported, from the Add Resource dropdown menu, select Upload document
You will be redirected to a page allowing you to add a new document to GeoNode
In the card at the left of the page you can see the list of supported extensions (i.e. media types).

GeoNode will create a preview of the media content if possible.
Similarly, it tries to create a thumbnail if it can read the content type. It will use a sample/default image otherwise.

From the
Locationstab, you can manage thespacial extentof the document.
Here numerical fields and a map show the spatial extent (WGS 84) for the document and you can edit it by Shift+click and drag to draw the new extent on the map and change its location by clicking the marker and drag.
The Location tab is also available for `Dashboard` and `GeoStory`
