Adding documents to Document Library

The Document Library is a common location to store multiple documents in the application. A document manager is a case business analyst who can add documents to the Document Library, provide the write and read access of the document to a particular owner group, and restrict the share access of documents.

There is no file size limit for the attachments that you can store in the Document Library. If you want to set a file size limit in your setup, contact Support. Case agents can attach documents from the Document Library to cases or tasks.
