# Attachments

Attachments can be accessed in any drawer in the system. It is done by clicking the attachments icon in the new side panel.

The attachments panel displays files as file cards, making it easier to scan and identify documents at a glance. Each card shows a file type icon, so you can quickly distinguish between common formats such as PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets.

### Adding an attachment :white\_check\_mark:&#x20;

There are two ways of adding attachments in VMS, either by dragging the file into the attachments modal drop zone or by clicking in the drop zone and selecting the file from the list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.29-coming-soon/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/attachments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
