As a Brand, you can now attach supporting documents, such as prior audit reports, facility documents, or policy references, directly when you launch an audit, instead of only being able to add them later before locking a completed audit. You can still add more documents to Brand Attachments up to the point of lock, as before. Across every stage, you can attach up to 8 files, 15MB total, matching the limit already used elsewhere on the platform.

As an Auditor, you can now view and download the brand's attachments on a launched audit. You cannot edit or delete them, they remain entirely brand-owned.

Key Benefits for Brands

• Share Context at Launch: Attach reference documents when you launch an audit, so the auditor has what they need from the start instead of relying on email.
• Consistent Limits Throughout: The same 8-file, 15MB limit now applies whether you are attaching documents at launch or before lock.
• Continued Control Before Lock: You can still add more supporting evidence up to the point an audit is locked, exactly as before.

Key Benefits for Auditors

• Direct Access to Brand Context: Download the brand's attachments directly from the audit, without needing to request them separately over email.

This update extends Brand Attachments to the start of the audit lifecycle, so brands can share supporting documents with auditors from launch through lock, while auditors always have secure, read-only access to what the brand has shared.
