# Attachments

Users can attach physical files—such as PDF documents, Microsoft Word files, or Microsoft Excel spreadsheets—to any business object. These include accounts, opportunities, and quotes. Users also can add links that point to files or folders on collaboration platforms such as SharePoint, Dropbox, or SAP Jam.

To facilitate these user actions, define attachment usage rules:

1. From the Zilliant CPQ application left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From **Master Data Management**, browse or search for **Attachment Usage**, then select it to define attachment rules.

For each attachment usage entry, you can further define the visibility of an attachment or link.

## Add file or link

Users can select the attachment usage when uploading attachments or links on the business object.

## Copy attachment link

For attachments in quotes, you can include links. However, long links are truncated and can't be copied. To get around this limitation, hover over a link, then right-click and select **Copy link address**.
