Adding Artifacts in Growth

Learn how artifacts work in Growth evaluation cycles, and how to add them.

Artifacts are files or links — a photo, a document, or a resource elsewhere on the web — that add context to an evaluation.

How artifacts work in Growth

  • Turned on step by step. Whoever configures the evaluation's steps checks Allow artifacts in that step's settings.

  • Add them in two places: on the step, or inside the evaluation form.

  • See them in both places. Wherever you add an artifact, it shows up on the step and on the form.

The evaluator and the staff member can add artifacts (depending on who is filling out the form) and view any that have been added.


Adding artifacts on an evaluation step

1. Click the downward arrow next to a step to expand your view, and click Add Artifacts to open the artifact selection view. An artifact can be an uploaded file or a link to a resource elsewhere on the web.

2. To add a linked artifact, enter the URL to the resource and click Add Link.

Adding a linked artifact

To add an uploaded artifact, drag and drop a file from your computer to the designated area, or click the area to open your file browser and select a file.

Uploading a file as an artifact

3. When you're done selecting artifacts, click Add Artifacts to save them. They'll be visible to the evaluators and staff member of the step.

To delete an artifact you've added, click the trash icon on that artifact.

Adding attachments inside the evaluation form

You can also add files and links directly inside the evaluation form. For step-by-step instructions, see Adding Attachments to a Form Submission.


Good to know

  • Artifacts vs. attachments: On evaluation steps, attachments are called artifacts. Inside forms, they're called attachments.

  • There's no set file size limit, but very large files can time out if they are too large or internet speeds aren't fast enough. If an upload keeps spinning and doesn't finish, try a smaller file. This is commonly the case with large video files. To share a video, upload it into Google Drive or Youtube and paste a link to it instead.

  • If you want attachments turned off, reach out to your KickUp CSM.
