The Attachments / evidence panel is available when the attachments feature is enabled for your organization. The current UI supports document versions and deviations.

Add evidence to a deviation

  1. Open the deviation detail page.
  2. In Attachments / evidence, choose a file no larger than 25 MB.
  3. Select Upload and confirm that the file appears in the panel.
  4. Review the displayed file name, type, size, uploader, timestamp, and SHA-256 digest.
Invariant computes the SHA-256 digest on the server. The attachment record and its add event are written together, binding the server-computed digest into the tamper-evident audit trail. Adding a new attachment does not require a reason for change.

Download and verify evidence

Select Download beside an attachment. The download requires an authenticated session in the same organization. Before serving the file, Invariant recomputes its SHA-256 digest and rejects the download if the stored bytes differ from the digest bound to the attachment and audit event.
The attachment model accepts CAPA and change-control targets for later UI reuse, but their detail pages do not yet expose this upload panel. Do not rely on CAPA or change-control file upload until that UI is available.
End-user deletion and retention-policy controls are not available in this release. Apply your approved retention and evidence-handling procedures outside this workflow where required.
See Deviations for the surrounding investigation workflow and Audit Trail for reviewing covered events and chain integrity.
