# Forms - Saving files directly in the Lead field

We are always working to improve your experience and optimize lead management. Now, forms with file-type fields can save documents directly in the lead record.

#### How does it work?

When setting up a form with a file upload field, you can link this field to a custom file-type field created in the Lead custom fields section.

#### How do you set it up?

1. Create a custom field:<br>

* In the menu, go to system settings and select Custom Fields - Lead.
* Create a new File-type field.\ <br>

2. Set up the form:<br>

* Go to the desired form.
* Add a File-type field.
* Link this field to the custom field you created in the previous step.
