   Question: if the linked activity already has images, documents or files attached will these all be seen and available if accessed through the other activity through which it linked?
   1. Answered by @beau.sherman | 03-May-2020 19:11 |
      1. No.  images, documents and files are attached specific to each activity. The only way to see attached files of another activity is to have the activity with the files inserted as a Linked Element.  See Linking Activities together to do this.
