Viewing and Previewing Attachments
Once files are attached to client notes, you can view them directly in Notehouse without downloading. This guide shows you how to find attachments, preview files in the built-in viewer, and download them when you need a local copy.
Previewing files is ideal for quick reference. If you need to edit, share, or print a document, downloading gives you a copy to work with outside Notehouse.
