Notes:

  • An Evidence instance is designed to only hold a single uploaded file or link per evidence instance. If you wish to provide additional evidence for the same set of attributes/skills you will need to add additional instances.

  • This is one reason why it is important that you label your Evidence instance with a name that allows you to uniquely identify it in your list of evidence.
