## Outcome
You will attach the correct technical file to an order, operation, or template.

## Before you start
- An existing order, order stage, or template.
- For a worker, manual assignment to the selected operation.

## Menu path
Menu → Attachments

## Step-by-step instructions
1. Choose Object type: Order, Order stage, or Template.
2. Use Quick pick or search by number/name, choose a suggestion, and select “Show attachments”.
3. Under Add file, select “Choose file”, pick a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or PDF, and select “Add attachment”.
4. Select “Preview” for an image/PDF or “Download” for the original.
5. Select “Delete” and confirm to schedule the file for deletion.
6. Open “Allowed formats and limits” if upload is rejected.

## What you see on screen
- The selected object appears above the upload form; the table lists name, MIME, size, author, date, and actions.
- Quick pick is intentionally limited; Show remaining and search reveal more objects.
- Preview supports images and PDF.
- A worker can handle files only for manually assigned order operations.

## Effects of changes
- Upload associates the file with exactly one selected object and creates an audit event.
- Delete hides it immediately and physical purge follows after seven days.
- Removing a process from an order or template can apply the same deletion flow to its attachments.

## Important warnings
- Download files you must retain before removing an operation. After the retention period, the app cannot restore them.

## Common problems
### Upload is rejected.
Check extension, actual MIME signature, file size, object count, and total-size limits.

### A worker cannot find an operation.
An owner must manually assign that worker profile to the single-worker order operation.
