Working with attachments

You can add attachments to issues in CodeCatalyst to make related files easily accessible. Use the following procedure to manage attachments for an issue.

The size of attachments added to issues counts towards your space's storage quotas. For information about viewing and managing attachments for your project, see Viewing and managing attachments.

Important

Attachments to issues are not scanned or analyzed by Amazon CodeCatalyst. Any user could add an attachment to an issue that might potentially contain malicious code or content. Make sure that users are aware of best practices when it comes to managing attachments and guarding against malicious code, content, or viruses.
