How to Use the Attachment Carousel in Stream

The Attachment Carousel lets you preview and scroll through multiple attachments directly in the body of an email – no need to open each file or download them all. It’s supported on both desktop and mobile.

When to Use This Feature

Use the Attachment Carousel when you’re working with emails that include several attachments, like vessel photos, inspection PDFs, or supporting documentation, and want to review them quickly without clicking into each file.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open an Email with Multiple Attachments

• Navigate to any message in Stream that contains more than one attachment.

Step 2: Locate the Attachment Preview Area

• Attachments will appear in a horizontal scrollable carousel directly below the message body.

Step 3: Scroll Through the Attachments

• Use the left and right arrows to browse each attachment inline.
• No downloads or new windows required – you stay in the message view.

Step 4: Open a Specific File (Optional)

• If needed, click on any file to open it in a full view.
• You can still download files individually from this screen if required

Supported File Types

The Attachment Carousel supports a wide range of file formats, including:

• PDFs
• Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG)
• Microsoft Office files (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt)
• EMLs and other common attachments

Troubleshooting & Common Questions

Q: Why can’t I see the carousel?

A: The carousel only appears when there are two or more attachments. For single files, you’ll see the standard attachment preview.

Q: Can I use this on mobile?

A: Yes, the carousel is available on both desktop and mobile.

Q: Can I download files from the carousel?

A: Yes. You can click into any attachment to view or download it, just like before.

Best Practices & Tips

• Use the carousel for a quick scan of vessel imagery or inspection sets without downloading files.
• Works especially well for claims teams, operations, or anyone who handles multiple document types in a single message.
