# Uploading an Action's File

If you plan to include an action in a [batch confirmation](/v1/docs/confirming-multiple-actions), you'll first need to [determine if it requires an attachment](/v1/docs/uploading-an-actions-file#identifying-actions-that-need-an-attachment). If it does, you'll need to [upload the file](/v1/docs/uploading-an-actions-file#uploading-an-actions-file) before you can [confirm the action](/v1/docs/confirming-multiple-actions).

## **Identifying Actions That Need an Attachment**

To identify actions that need an attachment before they can be confirmed:

1. From the Admin menu, select **User Admin**.
2. Select **Action Approval**. The [Action Approval workscreen](/v1/docs/action-approval-workscreen) displays.

In the grid, the Confirmation Attachment column displays one of three icons.

The actions that display a ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/uploading-an-actions-file-image-yzd42bv8.png) in the Confirmation Attachment column are those that require you to [upload a file](/v1/docs/uploading-an-actions-file#uploading-an-actions-file).

The [Learner's Attachment column](/v1/docs/action-approval-workscreen#columns-in-the-grid) displays the same icons to indicate whether the [action requires the learner to upload a file](/v1/docs/action-main#allow-learner-attachments), and if the learner has uploaded a file. A learner attachment is not required to confirm an action.

## **Uploading an Action's File**

To upload a file for an action, do the following from the [Action Approval workscreen](/v1/docs/action-approval-workscreen):

1. Click the ![Paperclip Icon](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/uploading-an-actions-file-image-w4sb7tgr.png) that's displayed in the action's Attachment column. The Confirm Action window displays with the Attachments accordion expanded.

1. Click **Upload Attachment**. Refer to [Supported File Types](/v1/docs/smarteru-file-uploads-1) for a list of supported file types.
2. Navigate to the location of the file.
3. Click **Open**.
4. Click **Save**.

After a file has been uploaded for the action, you can preview the file by clicking its filename.
