Insert an attachment already on a work item

Instead of adding a new attachment, inserting one that’s already on the work item can help add context without creating a duplicate attachment.

To insert an attachment already on a work item:

  1. Open a work item.

  2. Select a multiline text field or open a comment.

  3. In the editor’s toolbar, select + > Attachments on this work item.

Tip: Use a slash command to insert an attachment faster

While typing in a multiline text field or a comment, try /reference, /file, /attach, or /insert.
