Editing Attachments
When you edit attachments, you can perform the following actions:
• Create new attachments
• Remove attachments
• Edit attachment attributes, such as replacing file content or providing a new URL address
When you edit an attachment, you must check out the object to which the content is attached. If you are modifying the contents of an attached file, see Downloading Attached File Content for more information.
