- No manual uploading of new versions to Linear attachments
- Clear version history visible in one place
- Reduces confusion about which version was reviewed and approved

Questions about this workflow
Does it keep old versions attached, or replace them?
It adds the new version alongside old ones, so you have the full history visible in Linear.
How does Notis know which Linear issue to attach to?
You tell Notis in the prompt how the file and issue are connected—by name, folder, or explicit link in the issue.
Can I limit attachments to only certain file types?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Only attach PDFs and Design files' and it will skip other formats.
