# Record Renditions page

The Renditions page on a record's Properties dialogue appears when the record has an electronic attachment.

Right-click a record and click Properties to select it.

The Renditions page enables you to add, modify and remove additional renditions of the selected record’s electronic attachment.

The tabs below the view pane display the selected rendition's:

- Properties
