# Attach a file to a post or reply

You can attach files to a post by dragging a file into a post or pasting an image from the clipboard.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

Use the paperclip icon to drag files into a post. Additionally, you can [paste images into a post or reply from the clipboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/live-feed/t_CopyAnImageFromTheClipboard.md).

## Procedure

1.  Do one of the following:

    -   While composing a post or reply \(see [Reply to a Message](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/live-feed/t_ReplyToAMessage.md)\), locate one or more images or other supported types of files, and drag them into the message box.

    -   Click the paperclip icon in the message box, navigate to the location of the files you want to attach, select them, and click **Open**.

2.  To add more files, drag-and-drop additional files into the text box below the displayed files or images, or click the plus sign.

3.  If you want to delete an attachment before posting the message, click the trashcan icon adjacent to the attachment.

4.  Enter a comment to share your thoughts about the image.

    **Note:** The **Post** button is enabled only after you add the comment.

5.  Click **Post** or **Reply**.

6.  If you added files that do not contain previews and then posted the message, they will be listed in the message box with a **Download** link.

7.  Click the link to download the files.
