# Adding Additional Information to an Element

## Overview

Financial data, planning assumptions, and consolidation entries are often complex. Using the **Additional information** tab, you can add **notes** and **file attachments** directly to elements in Consolidation & Financial Planning. This allows you, for example, to clearly document why you made certain adjustments, what assumptions underlie a plan, or which supporting documents are relevant.

Your team members can view this information at any time and build on it.

> **Note:** The content on the **Additional information** tab in Consolidation & Financial Planning differs from the content on the corresponding tab in Lucanet.Financial Client. This means that the content is only visible in the environment in which it was entered.

## Instruction

To add additional information to an element, open the **Additional information** tab in the element's detail view and click **Edit**. The tab is displayed as follows, for example:

![Displays the details view of an element in the “Organization Elements” workspace. The “More Information” tab and the field for adding text and files are highlighted.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/consolidation-financial-planning/general-functions/add-further-information-to-elements/_images/en/additional-information.png)
'Additional information' tab

In edit mode, you can add additional information in the form of **text** using the text editor and/or as **file attachments**.
