Need to attach a file to your proposal?

Proposify offers tools in your Document Setting that you can use to attach a file for your prospects or your team. These tools accept a file size of 20MB and the file types allowed are:

  • CSV

  • PDF

  • Pages

  • Numbers

  • Key

  • .doc

  • .docx

  • .xls

  • .xlsx

  • .ppt

  • .pptx

  • jpg/jpeg

  • png

  • gif

If you add a file that exceeds the maximum size or isn't the allowed file type, this system will reject the file, as shown below.

When creating a new sales document, we’ll take you to the Document Settings page once you’ve chosen a template.

If you’re in the Editor, click Edit Document Settings from the Menu Pane to open a menu without leaving the page:

 

First, ensure the File attachments field is turned on in your account settings.

After filling out the required fields in document settings, scroll down to find file attachments.

Drag and drop the attachment from your computer into the dotted area, or click here to upload to open your computer's file manager and select a file:

 

After you’ve added the attachment, you can toggle the on/off switch under visible to clients. Leaving the toggle on will allow your client to download the attachment:

 

Setting the toggle to off will make this an internal attachment, only visible to you and your team.
