# Create Evidences

Sprinto allows you to add evidence to the platform in three primary ways—manual upload, bulk upload, or through evidence requests. All evidence added becomes a standalone, version-controlled item that can be tagged, reviewed, and linked to audit requirements or controls.

This article covers:

* Uploading evidence manually
* Uploading evidence in bulk
* Creating single and bulk evidence requests

***

### Upload Evidence manually

Use this method when you want to upload one or more files or links individually.

#### To upload evidence manually

2. Select **Upload evidence**.
3. In the drawer, do one of the following:
   * Choose **File** to upload one or more supported files (PDF, CSV, ZIP, etc.).
   * Choose **Link** to add a shareable link to the evidence file.
