# About Attachments

> Upload and manage file attachments linked to cases, alerts, and observables in Blink case management.

## Attachments in Case Management

Attachments allow you to upload and link important files—such as documents, screenshots, logs, or reports—to Cases, Alerts, Tasks, and Observables. This helps centralize all relevant information in one place, making it easier for teams to collaborate and investigate efficiently.

***

## Create a New Attachment

<Note>You can add attachments directly from a specific Case or through the main Attachments table. Each attachment can be associated with one or more records to provide context and improve traceability during the investigation process.</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the Attachments tab">
    To attach an Attachment to a Case, first double-click on the desired Case. In the [overview section](/docs/case-management/cases/case-overview#case-overview) of the selected Case, go to the ["Attachment" tab](/docs/case-management/cases/case-overview#tables). Then, click the "New Record" button in the top-right corner.
