Provide a file related to a task comment

Upload the file through the appropriate document workflow and identify it in your task update.

Updated 2026-11-11

The task comment field accepts a written update; it is not a file-upload control. If the task requires a supporting document, first read its description and check whether the team supplied a specific document request.

Use that request’s upload action when one exists, because it connects the file to the requested item. Otherwise use the appropriate Documents upload workflow and select the correct company and category.

Return to the task and post a comment identifying the filename and what it supports. If the upload is still pending or failed, say so rather than marking the task ready based only on the file you selected.

Do not paste a local computer path into the comment expecting the team to open it. A path on your device is not a shared file. Avoid posting temporary private download links when the file can be located through the workspace. Once the requested information is saved and the task is ready, use Submit for review separately if that action is available.
