Managing Attachments

Stay organised and productive on the go with the Attachments tab in the mobile app. Easily view, search, upload, and manage files across your work, with attachments displayed in a clear folder structure and enriched with key details for quick reference. Navigate, search, and interact with important documents wherever you are, with a seamless experience aligned across mobile and web.
