Is it possible to upload ZIP files to Workiva?
AnsweredWe want to use a part from Workiva as a repository with all our files of previous years SOX testing. We want to upload them in ZIP-files, which is not possible...somebody else has the same problem/issue? Or how have you resolved this?

For any folks coming across this thread, I wanted to provide an official response!
ZIP files can be uploaded as attachments in Workiva, but they cannot be opened or previewed in the platform's Evidence Viewer — you'd need to download them first. For a SOX testing repository, uploading files individually in supported formats (PDF, Excel, Word, etc.) is recommended so external auditors can view and mark up evidence directly in Workiva.
We upload zip file to Wdesk. We create a project, insert a workbook and upload to specific cells in the workbook. I don't know if there are size limitations though. We do this quite often for audits that we complete. 0
You can create a project and then it will open a new tab where you can upload the zip file by using the tool bar on the right side. It's not easy to find though. 0
I would suggest associating a file with a cell in a workbook and then adding the file name to the workbook cell. That way you can click on a cell and it will take you right to the file. 0
We typically download the zip file to our desktop and upload the files separately. Zip files cause issues in the evidence markup tool and typically freeze workiva when you try to view or open them in Workvia 0Please sign in to leave a comment.
