Important notes

Save first: You must save your message as a draft before you can attach files.

File types: You can attach documents, images, PDFs, and spreadsheets.

Access: Recipients can only view messages and attachments by logging into MyCake (the stakeholder portal). They'll receive an email notification, but must access the platform to see the full content.

File storage: Attachments are automatically saved in Documents > Communications folder, organized by month and year (e.g., "01 2025").
