How to attach files and documents

How to attach files and documents

You can attach files and documents directly to trades, dividends, and holdings in Sharesight. This keeps your records in one place — useful for audit trails, tax reconciliation, and compliance.


Attach a file to a trade (buy or sell)

Each buy or sell trade has a paperclip icon where you can attach a file. This is the right place for:

  • Broker contract notes — the PDF confirmation from your broker for each trade
  • Trade confirmations — any other transaction record from your broker

To attach a file to a trade:

  1. Open the portfolio and navigate to the holding.
  2. Find the trade in the trade history.
  3. Click the paperclip icon (📎) on the trade row.
  4. Upload the file from your device.

The file is stored against that specific trade and visible when you view the trade details.


Attach a file to a dividend

Each dividend entry also supports file attachments. This is the right place for:

  • Dividend statements — the distribution advice from the company or registry
  • DRP confirmation notices — if the dividend was reinvested

To attach a file to a dividend:

  1. Open the portfolio and navigate to the holding.
  2. Find the dividend in the dividend history.
  3. Click the paperclip icon (📎) on the dividend row.
  4. Upload the file from your device.

Attach files to a holding (Notes & Files tab)

The Notes & Files tab on any holding page lets you store up to 5 documents against the holding itself — not tied to a specific trade or dividend. This is the right place for:

  • Annual Tax Statements (AMMA / SDS) — the end-of-year tax report from an ETF or managed fund
  • PDS / product disclosure statements
  • Holding agreements or account documents
  • Any document relevant to the holding but not tied to a single transaction

To attach a file to a holding:

  1. Open the portfolio and navigate to the holding.
  2. Click the Notes & Files tab on the holding page.
  3. Click Add file and upload from your device.
  4. Optionally add a note to describe the document.
