Add attachments

Dragging and dropping files onto the left side of the task uploads them to the task. Alternatively, you can click upload and select files to upload. Attachments uploaded on the left side will only be visible in the task's Attachments section. 

You cannot upload folders to tasks. If you wish to upload a folder, compress it to a .zip file first.

Dragging and dropping files on the right side of the task inserts them into a new comment. Alternatively, you can click the attachments icon when creating a comment to upload files. Attachments in comments still display in the Attachments section on the left side of a task. 

Attachments added by users who have been removed from the Workspace are retained.
