 ===== ELN File Attachments =====
-Coming soon.
+You can upload files directly in the ELN! These files (attachments) are tied to the ELN page they were uploaded to, and are created and tracked within the LIMS. By navigating to the File Attachment modules, you can view files (Fig 2) or upload files (Fig 3).

+//Fig 2. File attachments - display mode. Display mode allows the user to view the files currently attached to their page. Users can remove the attached files from the page.//
+\\
+\\
+File uploads are segmented into different types, such as generic files, characterization tool files, plate reader files, and so on. This is done to simplify database annotation and population by pre-populating fields for the user based on their file type selection. This provides a richer level of file annotation while reducing data entry by the user. An example file upload window for a Spectra file upload is shown in Fig 4.
