Unlike a document, it isn't versioned or approved, though it can point at a specific document version. Go to **Documents** → **Evidence & Files**. The Evidence and Files tab listing evidence items Click **New** and choose a kind of evidence: * **Link**: a URL * **Upload**: a file from your machine, such as a PDF, Excel spreadsheet, Word document, screenshot or video * **Note**: a free-text note * **Document Version**: a specific version of a document already in Assuric The new evidence dialog Pick an existing type so the item is easy to find later, or create one for any item to use: enter a *Label*, like `Insurance Certificates`, choose a colour and an icon, and click **Save**. The evidence type editor with the label Insurance Certificates, blue selected and the icon library open To find evidence again, filter by one type at a time with the *+ Type* chip. If evidence applies to one product only, tag it, so you can find it when a customer asks about that product, not your whole estate. ## Where else evidence shows up * On a [control in the hazard log](/clinical-safety/causes-and-controls#evidence), evidence appears wherever that control appears. * On a [clinical safety incident](/clinical-safety/incidents), it forms part of the incident record. * [Published to your Trust Centre](/trust-centre/what-to-publish), it's there for customers to get themselves. Changing evidence on a linked control changes it everywhere that control is used, so before you replace a file that's been in use for a while, check what else it affects. **What we recommend** Decide your evidence types early and keep the list short: 6 or 8 is usually enough. Giving hundreds of items a type later is slow. ## Related articles Whether your file belongs in Documents or Evidence & Files. The two routes into the evidence pop-out from the hazard log.
