# Working with Assets

## Assigning Multiple Assets to GeoTag

Asset management is handled in the **Assets** section of the GeoTag **Properties** panel.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** At the top of the **Assets** section, a counter displays the **current number of assets** linked to the selected GeoTag. This provides a quick overview of how many files or resources are associated with the GeoTag.

This functionality allows multiple assets to be attached to a single GeoTag. This enables users to enrich GeoTag annotations with additional materials that support documentation, inspection, or analysis.

### Asset Sources

Assets can be sourced from different locations, including:

- Existing resources within the current project
- User's local disk
- External resources Users can attach a link to any resource available on the web (e.g., technical documentation, cloud-hosted images, instructional videos).

### Supported Asset Types

| Type | Format |
| --- | --- |
| Images | `.jpeg`, `.jpg`, `.bmp`, `.png` |
| Documents | `.pdf`, `.txt` |
| Video | `.mp4` |
| Audio | `.mp3`, `.m4a` |
| URL links | Any valid web address |
