Interested in adding external documents, such as exemplar work, evaluation evidence, or supporting resources to an observation form? You can do this by using the Files manager within observations!

How to Add a File

• If you're the observer who is conducting the observation, you're able to add a document while the form is drafted and after the form is finalized.
• If you're the observee who is receiving the observation, you can add your documents after the form is finalized.

How to Add a File as the Observer

To add, find the Files manager within the form, and then click Add File.

• If you are uploading a document stored on your desktop, click Upload File From Computer.
• If you are attaching a document stored on the web (ex: Google Drive), click Add Link.
• You can also select from files you've already uploaded to Grow via Add Existing File. Simply locate/upload your file using the blue (view file) and green (add file) buttons.

Once the file is added, you'll see it appear under the Files manager where you can determine if you're ready to share the file after finalizing the form by toggling the purple eye icon.

After finalizing your observation, your files can be located under the Files tab.

How to Add a File as an Observee
