  6. Hyperproof only supports uploading up to 1GB of proof in a single upload.

    Add your proof in one of the following ways:

    • Drag and drop files onto the proof grid.

    • Click Add proof and select one of the following:

      • My Computer - To use proof stored on your computer, click My Computer in the upper-left corner.

      • This <object> - To use proof stored on objects linked to an evaluation or audit request, click This <object>.

      • Cloud storage integration - To use proof stored in an integration, such as Drive, select the integration’s icon from the Add integration section in the bottom-left corner. Optionally, turn on LiveSync to automatically keep your proof up to date.

      • Paste a link - Select this option to use a website URL as proof. The URL is rendered as a “Link” file type in Hyperproof; the only information shown in the file is the URL.

      • Paste an image - Select this option to use a screenshot as proof. Take a screenshot (Cmd-Shift-5 on Mac, Shift-S on Windows), copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it in Hyperproof. Chrome users may need to allow this functionality. If prompted by the browser, refresh the page after clicking Allow.

      • Existing proof - To reuse proof that already exists in your organization, select either Labels, Proof, My Controls, Vendors, Risks, Policies, or Programs from the left menu.

        When selecting existing proof on a policy, only effective and retired policy versions display.
