# How Do I Enable Delete and New Buttons on Attachments?

This article provides a guide to enable the **New** and **Delete** buttons found on the standard attachment forms in Dynamics 365. This is where a user can see the documents attached to a record from Document Handling and manually attach information.

## Steps

1. Navigate to your record, select the paperclip icon to view the attachments, and check whether the **New** and **Delete** buttons are grayed out.
2. Navigate to **Organization administration** > **Document management** > **Active document tables**.

1. Add a new record, choose the reference tables for the attachments, and select the **Always enabled** checkbox.
