#'''Upload''' a new file to the knowledge base (button 1). Alternatively, choose an already existing file (button 2).

==Elements of the attachments area==
The appearance of the attachments area can be adjusted with settings in the attachments tag. To set the parameters, go to the edit mode of the page and click on the attachments area. The tag inspector opens. It consists of two areas: 

#Prefix, Categories, Description: Default values for files that are newly uploaded to the wiki via the attachments section. The default values are also used when the toggle  switch "Skip upload options" is activated. In this case, the files are transferred directly to the wiki without any further upload dialogs. The standard upload options are applied.
#Toggle switches  that show or hide different columns in the attachments area.<br />  [[File:attachments-inspector.png|alt=attachments inspector|none|thumb|337x337px|attachments inspector]]
