# Attachments for entries

You can optionally attach ONE file from your own computer to any glossary entry. This file is uploaded to the server and stored with your entry.

This is useful when you want to share a picture, for example, or a Word document.

This file can be of any type, however it is highly recommended that the file is named using standard 3-letter internet suffixes such as .doc for a Word document, .jpg or .png for an image, and so on. This will make it easier for others to download and view your attachment in their browsers.

If you re-edit an entry and attach a new file, then any previous attached files for that entry will be replaced.

If you re-edit an entry with an attachment and leave this space blank, then the original attachment will be retained.
