thanks that was helpful...but is there a way to create custom thumbnail(like including my own thumbnail for specific extensions).

Yes, the workflow name is DAM Update Asset.  Customize it based on your requirements (add process step or add extensions) to generate thumbnails. You should be able to open the workflow definition in either classic or touch ui and edit it.

Take a backup before deleting any step, just in case, if you need to rollback.
