Add or link files to Heads Ups

Learn how to add or link files from Documents to Heads Up via the web app and mobile app to make information easier to access.

Why add files to Heads Ups?

Adding or linking files gives your team the context they need to understand and act on your message. Include references, visuals, and supporting documents directly in the Heads Up so important information stays organized and easy to access in one place. You can also require assignees to sign linked files before acknowledging the Heads Up to help confirm they’ve reviewed the content. Signatures create a clear record who reviewed each file, helping your team maintain accurate records and support compliance requirements.
