# Media on Deals

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** Adding media to deals requires the paid **Operations add-on**.
{% endhint %}

PaintScout uses the same media experience across estimates, work orders, invoices, deals, contacts, and companies. Upload photos, PDFs, and videos, review thumbnails, edit file details, and open files in the viewer.

***

## Add and manage media on deals

1. Open the selected deal and click to the **Files** tab.
2. Click **Upload** to open the media viewer.
3. You will have the option to upload **new files** or upload from the **Estimate Files**.
4. Review the file previews and click any thumbnail to open the full viewer.
5. Add or edit each file’s title and description.

Supported file types include JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, PDF, MP4, MOV, and WebM.

{% hint style="info" %}
Click the expand icon in the top right corner to open any photo, PDF, or video in a new browser tab.
{% endhint %}

## Use deal images on linked estimates

If an estimate is linked to a deal, you can pull images from the deal directly into the estimate.

1. Open the linked estimate.
2. Open the estimate’s media viewer area.
3. Click **Deal Files**.
4. Select one or more images from the deal.

The selected images appear in the estimate right away.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Deal Files** option only appears when the estimate is linked to a deal.
{% endhint %}

## How image edits behave

Image edits are saved globally.

If the same image appears on more than one record, the saved edits appear everywhere that image is used. This also applies if that image appears on a customer-facing estimate or invoice.

PDFs cannot be edited.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/operations/deals/media-on-deals.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
