# Uploading Files to an Asset

### Overview

Sky Ledge’s Asset Overview (Electronic Filing Cabinet) allows you to upload and store documents, images, and files directly against each asset, providing one central place to manage compliance records, service documents, visual evidence, and more.

This tutorial shows you how to upload files to an asset’s profile using four simple methods.

### Step-by-Step Guide

**1. Access the Asset Overview**

* Start by selecting the asset from the map.
* In the asset sidebar, click the book icon to open the Electronic Filing Cabinet (also known as the Asset Overview).

**2. Navigate to the Files Tab**

* Inside the Asset Overview, you’ll see five tabs:
* Overview
* Events
* Places
* Tasks
* Files
* Click on the Files tab.

#### Four Ways to Upload Files

**Method 1: Drag and Drop**

* Simply drag a file from your desktop or folder.
* Drop it into the upload section.
* The file will upload automatically.
* Once it appears in the file list, click Done.

**Method 2: Upload from Your Device**

* Click From Device.
* Browse your computer or mobile device to find the file you want.
* Select the file and click Open to upload.

**Method 3: Use Your Camera (Mobile Only)**

* If you’re on a mobile device, click Camera.
* Take a photo directly through your device.
* The image will upload immediately to the asset’s file section.

**Method 4: Upload via Link**

* Select From Link.
* Enter the file URL using the standard upload fields.
* This is ideal for cloud-hosted documents or reference files.

#### Viewing Uploaded Files

* All uploaded files will appear in the list within the Files tab.
* To view a file:
* Locate the file you want.
* Click the eye icon on the right.
* The file will open in a new browser tab.

#### File Types Supported

Sky Ledge supports the upload of:

* Images (e.g., JPG, PNG)
* Videos
* PDFs
* Documents (e.g., DOCX, XLSX)
* Other file formats

This allows for complete, centralised documentation for every asset, ensuring nothing gets lost across shared drives or inboxes.

#### Best Practice Tip

Use file uploads to store:

* Registration papers
* Service history photos
* Inspection videos
* Compliance certificates
* Photos of damage or defects
* Warranty documents

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.skyledge.com/knowledge-base/articles/uploading-files-to-an-asset.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
