Attachments to an item

Some items can have their own files: attachments. Think of an attachment to a mailing, a document for a user or a file with a forum post. Attachments are not public: only people who may see the item can open the attachment. So they are not in the Filemanager.

Such an item shows a block with the files and the Manage Files... button. For a mailing this is under Attachments.

Adding an attachment

1. Open the item.
2. Drag the file onto the block with the text or drag & drop files here. You can also click Manage Files... and click Browse Files in the window.
3. The file appears in the item's list.

Below the upload box you see the maximum size of a file (Max). If the item already has an attachment with the same name, the new one gets a number added.

Managing attachments

1. On the item, click Manage Files.... A window opens with all attachments.
2. Click a file. You see a preview (for an image) and the buttons Download, Duplicate and Delete.
3. Want to change the name? Type the new name next to Name and click Rename.
4. Click Close. The item's page is refreshed.

With Download at the top you get all attachments in one zip file. A photo from an iPhone (HEIC) can be turned into a normal photo with Convert to JPEG. You can crop or rotate an image with Edit image; under Versions you can then restore an earlier version.

Restoring a deleted attachment

1. In the Manage Files... window, click Trash.
2. Click Restore next to the file.

If you want to put a file publicly on a page, use the Filemanager instead of an attachment.
