Attachments are files that are attached to AODocs documents. Attachments are stored in Google Drive and are owned by the storage account of your library. Learn more: What are attachments?
Attachments are listed in the sidebar of your document. In Document Management libraries you can also access attachments in the Properties panel, under Attachments.
When your document has Google files, such as Docs, Sheets or Slides, as attachments, you can open the attachment in the Google editor. You can then perform AODocs actions in the Google editor.
