The paperwork around a job — adjuster scopes, carrier to-do lists, policies, moisture logs — can go straight into the chat. Attach a PDF and ask.

## How to attach

Click the **paperclip** in the chat composer and pick a PDF (up to **2 per message, 20 MB each**), type your question, and send.

## What to ask

- "What does this adjuster scope include that my estimate doesn't?"
- "Summarize what this policy says about mold coverage."
- "Does my estimate line up with the readings in this moisture log?"
- "What's this document asking me to do?"

Wave reads the document, answers, and where you ask for a comparison, walks the differences against your estimate line by line.

## Q&A and compare — not rebuild

Wave answers questions about documents and flags differences; it doesn't reconstruct an estimate from one. If a comparison surfaces a change worth making, Wave proposes it in chat and you confirm — same rule as [photos](/docs/estimates/photos-in-chat): nothing you attach edits the estimate on its own.

## Where the documents go

PDFs attached in chat also appear on the [Files tab](/docs/estimates/files-tab) under **Attachments**, so the whole job's paperwork stays in one place.
