# Upload Attachments

Drop a file into a conversation when you want the assistant to read it for that turn — a contract, a spreadsheet, a screenshot.

1. #### Attach

   **Drag & drop** a file onto the input area, or click the plus button (**+**) to pick files from your computer. You can also paste an image or document directly into the input.

2. #### Wait for upload

   Each file shows a chip with its upload status. Remove a chip with its _x_ button before sending. Current limits are 20 files per message, 100 per conversation, and 100 MB per file.

3. #### Send your message

   Hit send. Core keeps the files with this conversation so later turns can refer to them, subject to the conversation limit.
