Attaching Files to Task
Anneal supports the attachment of multiple file-types to tasks via the Supporting Files section. These files can be used to demonstrate work completed, provide additional context for the task, or to provide supporting evidence for the task's progress. However, the most common use case is to attach files for review by other team members.
In the typical engineering setting, this might include CAD files, drawings, or other supporting documents. At present, these documents are supported via the following file-types:
