Info
| - Feed - Generate a RSS feed for the resource
- Rating - Ratings of the resource
- Media type - Each collection or resource created and stored on the repository has an associated media type. If you leave the media type unspecified, it takes the default value. There are two main ways to configure media types for resources.
- Use a one-time configuration, by modifying the
mime.types file found in the server configuration directory. Done just once before the initial start-up of the server. This method does not apply to collections. The only way to configure media types for a collection is using the second method. - Use the management console as described when adding a collection and a resource.
Initially, the system contains media types defined in mime.types file. They are available for resources and a set of default media types is available for collections.
| Info |
|---|
Human-readable media types have shorter names in place of MIME names (for example, WSDL is used instead of application/wsdl+xml). This is achieved by introducing a new file as <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/mime.mappings . For more information, see Configuring Registry Files section in WSO2 Governance Registry documentation. |
You can manage media types for resources by editing the properties of /system/mime.types/index collection. This collection contains two resources: collection and custom.ui. To manage media types of collections and custom user interfaces, edit the properties of these two resources.

| Actions | Allows you to rename, move, copy or delete a resource/child collection.

You cannot move/copy resources and collections across registry mounts if they have dependencies or associations. You can only move/copy within a mount. For more information on mounts, read WSO2 Governance Registry documentation: Remote Instance and Mount Configuration Details. |

These options are not available for all resources/collections. |

Creating custom content
Allows you to create your own type of content with a specified media type. For example, to add a user profile to the registry, create custom content with the media type application/vnd.wso2-profiles+xml and provide the user name. For example,
