# Adding a New Document
Xyicon Users
Use this article to learn how to add new documents to **Portfolios, Spaces, Catalogs, Xyicons,** and **Boundaries**.
Xyicon enables users to attach documents to any object created within a module. The attached documents are displayed as thumbnails or application icons within the **Documents** section on the **Details** **( )** tab of the selected object. The **Documents** section appears under the **Details** **( )** tab in the side panel for every module except the **Reports** module.
## Before you begin
- Ensure you have created at least one object within the **Portfolio, Space, Catalog, Xyicon,** or **Boundary** modules to add a document.
