Typical steps include locating the correct project or ticket, validating file type and size, adding metadata or tags, generating a brief summary to display with the attachment, and recording an audit trail of who or what attached the file and when. The system can also enforce retention and redaction rules so governance is maintained automatically rather than being left to memory or manual process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI and agentic automation lifts the solution from “move file A to place B” to “understand which file matters and why.” AI models read content and metadata to determine relevance, extract the most important facts, and create short previews so collaborators can make faster decisions without opening every document.
