# Extent Tab: Product

**Extent** refers to geographic boundaries for your project. Spatial extents lets users see at a glance the geographic footprint of your project and allows searching within specific geographic areas.

Spatial extents should be included for all applicable products. As a default, products should inherit extents from their parent project. geoJSON files for specific geographies are available on [ScienceBase](https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5bd7c96fe4b0b3fc5ce82d44) (private DMWG folder that requires ScienceBase login). Download the relevant files and then import the geoJSON files into mdEditor.

Tip: You can export, save, and import an extent to use for other projects or products.
