# Files

Use files when you want to share attachment files referenced in sessions across the workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
Reference uploaded files from sessions and cases with `{{file:FILE-NAME}}`, where `FILE-NAME` is the uploaded file name. You can upload up to 50 MB per file.
{% endhint %}

## Upload a file

1. On the **Files** tab, click **Upload**.
2. Select a file to upload.
3. After the upload completes, confirm that the list shows the file name, size, and uploaded date and time.

{% hint style="info" %}
Files that are no longer available in storage are shown as **Expired** on the **Files** tab. Upload the same file again before you reference it in a session or case.
{% endhint %}

## Reference in sessions and cases

Reference saved files from session and case scenarios with `{{file:FILE-NAME}}`, where `FILE-NAME` is the uploaded file name. On the new session screen and new case screen, you can either select an existing file from the **Insert memory** menu or upload a new file on the spot and insert it.

To insert an existing file, follow these steps.

1. Click **Insert memory** <img src="/files/gUZkHrdp751FPmYNU8dE" alt="" data-size="line"> below **Test instructions**.
2. Hover over **Files** and select the file to insert.
3. Confirm that a `{{file:FILE-NAME}}` token is inserted at the cursor position.

To upload a new file and insert it, follow these steps.

1. Click **Insert memory** <img src="/files/gUZkHrdp751FPmYNU8dE" alt="" data-size="line">.
2. Hover over **Files** and click **Upload file...**.
3. Select a file to upload.
4. Confirm that the upload completes and a `{{file:FILE-NAME}}` token is inserted at the cursor position.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In mobile sessions that run on iOS devices, you cannot insert files from **Insert memory**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also reference files by typing a `{{file:FILE-NAME}}` token directly.
{% endhint %}

For how to create sessions and cases, see [Test session](/test-case-creation/create-test-session.md) and [Create cases](/test-case-creation/create-test-case.md).

## Delete a file

1. On the **Files** tab, click the delete icon in the row of the file you want to delete.
2. Confirm that no test cases reference the file.
3. Click **Delete**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Files referenced by test cases cannot be deleted. Before deleting, remove the `{{file:FILE-NAME}}` token from the referencing test cases shown in the dialog, where `FILE-NAME` is the uploaded file name.
{% endhint %}
