# Create Evidences

Sprinto allows you to add evidence to the platform in three primary ways—manual upload, bulk upload, or through evidence requests. All evidence added becomes a standalone, version-controlled item that can be tagged, reviewed, and linked to audit requirements or controls.

This article covers:

- Uploading evidence manually
- Uploading evidence in bulk
- Creating single and bulk evidence requests
