Attaching Files

In Productive, you can easily attach files to various items, such as tasks, comments, expenses, and more.

To attach a file, simply drag and drop it into the desired location or click the universal paperclip icon.

Productive supports all file types, allowing you to attach any kind of file (.doc, .xls, .pdf, .png, etc.) without restrictions.

Mentioning Attachments

When working with tasks that have multiple attachments, it can be challenging to reference specific files.

Instead of writing vague comments like, "I like the first one, but the third one needs changes," which could lead to confusion, Productive offers a solution with the attachment mentioning feature.

When you upload an attachment to a task, you'll notice an "@" button appears next to it.

By clicking this button, the name and a link to your file will be automatically inserted into the comment field of the task.

This makes it clear exactly which attachment you're referring to, reducing the chances of misunderstandings.

If someone else wants to reference an attachment in their reply, they can click the "@" button on the attachment’s thumbnail, ensuring clear communication.
