# 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
1. Go to **Audits > Evidences**.
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.
4. Enter the following details:
* **Evidence name** (required)
* **Evidence collected date**
* (Optional) Select controls to map using the **Associated controls** dropdown. To map controls:
1. Select the **Associated controls** drop-down and click **Select control**.
2. Select the relevant control categories and choose the controls you want to map to your evidence.
3. Click **Save mapping**.
5. Select **Save**.

Each file uploaded is treated as an individual evidence item.
{% endhint %}

### Upload Evidence in bulk
Use this method when migrating evidence from tools such as SharePoint, Quickbase, or internal drives.
#### To upload multiple evidences
1. Go to **Audits > Evidences**.
2. Select **Upload evidence**.
3. Select the File check box if you wish to upload files.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can upload files with a total size of up to 25 MB or a maximum of 25 files.
{% endhint %}
4. Select the link check box if you wish to add links.
1. Click + Add more to add multiple rows of links.
5. Enter the following details:
* **Evidence name** (required)
* **Evidence collected date**
6. Review all entries and click **Save**.
{% hint style="info" %}
Each uploaded file receives a unique identifier (e.g. `EVD-001`) that cannot be edited.
{% endhint %}

### Create a single evidence request
Use this method to request evidence from a specific user, such as a department lead or collaborator.
#### To create a single evidence request
1. Go to **Audits > Evidences**.
2. Select **Request evidence** > **Create a single evidence request**.
3. Enter the following details:
* **Evidence name**
* **Details** (optional)
* **Request evidence from**: Select a stakeholder or internal user.
* **Due date**
4. (Optional) Enable **Review required?** and assign a reviewer.
5. Select **Create request**.
The assigned user will receive a task and email notification.

### Create bulk evidence requests via CSV
Use this method to generate multiple evidence requests at once.
#### To create bulk requests
1. Go to **Audits > Evidences**.
2. Select **Request evidence** > **Create bulk evidence requests via CSV**.
3. Download the CSV template provided.
4. Fill in the required fields:
* Evidence name
* Details
* Email ID of assignee
* Due date
* Reviewer (if required)
5. Upload the completed CSV file.
6. Preview and review all entries.
7. Select **Save** to send the requests.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure the email IDs used are already added to your Sprinto account. Invalid entries will result in an error.
{% endhint %}

### Next Steps
Once evidence is created or uploaded, you can:
* View and manage it in the **Uploaded** or **Requested** tabs
* Assign metadata and map to controls
* Track upload and review status from the dashboard
