Add attachments

To add one or more attachments to a post:

• Click on 'Choose File' in the post creation screen;

• select the files you're interested in, then choose 'Open' or 'Attach a file from your device';

The added attachments will be displayed in the 'Attachments' section of your post in creation, allowing you to manage, edit, or delete them before publishing

• In the mobile app, click on the paperclip-shaped icon located at the top right.

When you add an attachment, you have the option to categorize it using the #hashtags of the publishing community. Hashtags act as one or more "labels" that allow you to categorize attachments, and they will assist you and other community members in searching for content and attachments in the future.

• Click 'Add attachments' and then select the files you're interested in. Choose 'Open' or 'Attach a file from your device';

• click on the pencil-shaped icon and select the #hashtag of your choice;

• complete the operation by clicking the 'Save' button.

To edit the hashtags of an already uploaded attachment:

• Select the attachment;
