Kin keeps your notes, photos, and documents alongside your visits, so everything for one person lives in one place.

### Where can I add things?

There are two places:

-   From the **Records** tab, tap **Add a note, photo, or file** at the top. You can type a note, attach a photo or file, or record audio yourself.
-   On a specific visit, open the visit and use the **Notes** field for typed notes, or the **Attachments** section for photos and files.

### What can I attach?

When you add an attachment you'll see these options:

-   **Camera** — take a photo right then
-   **Photos** — choose from your photo library
-   **Files** — choose a document from your phone
-   **Record** — record audio yourself (Records tab only)

Kin accepts photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, GIF), PDFs, CSV and plain text files, and audio files. If a file is too big, Kin will tell you the size limit.

### Can I add my lab results or medical records?

Yes. Take a photo of them, or attach a PDF you already have. They'll show up in that person's Records timeline next to their visits.

One thing to know: the Camera option takes one photo at a time. For a multi-page document, use your phone's own scanning app to make a PDF first, then attach it with **Files**.

### How do I record audio myself?

From the **Records** tab, tap **Add a note, photo, or file**, then tap **Record**. Tap **Stop** when you're finished. It saves as "Recording" with the time.

This is a recording you make yourself. It's separate from recording a visit, and Kin doesn't turn it into a visit summary.

### Can I add things to someone else's records?

Only if you manage their profile. If you have view-only access, you'll see **View only** and won't be able to add notes or attachments.

### Can I edit a note after I save it?

No. A standalone note you add from the **Records** tab can't be edited after you leave its composer. To correct it, open the note in **Records**, tap **Delete note**, then add a new note with the corrected text. You need to manage that profile to delete the note or add a replacement.
