# Asset Attachments

With Asset Attachments, you can store files directly on an asset in Equipme. This keeps important documents close to the item they belong to, instead of spreading them across shared folders, inboxes, or external systems.

You can use attachments for manuals, invoices, service reports, warranty documents, certificates, images, and other files that are relevant to a specific asset.

### Upload a file to an asset

To add an attachment:

1. Open **Inventory**.
2. Select the asset you want to update.
3. Open the **Documentation** section.
4. Go to **Attachments**.
5. Click **Upload or select files**.
6. Choose the file from your device.

Once the upload is complete, the file appears directly in the asset record.

### Manage attachments

Uploaded files remain linked to the asset and can be accessed again whenever they are needed.

You can download an attachment, rename it, add or update a short description, or remove it from the asset.

Adding a clear name and description is useful when several files are stored on the same asset. It helps other users understand what a document contains without having to open it first.

### File size

The maximum file size is currently **20 MB per attachment**.

### Access and security

Attachments are only available to users who have access to the relevant tenant and asset.

The files are not shared through public links, which means internal documents remain protected inside Equipme.

### Keep asset information in one place

Asset Attachments help create a more complete asset record. Technical data, lifecycle information, and supporting documents can all be accessed from the same place.

This is especially useful when an asset is serviced, transferred, audited, returned, or reviewed later on. Instead of searching through different systems, users can find the relevant files directly on the asset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hub.equipme.io/equipme/assets/understanding-the-inventory/asset-attachments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
