Select the Attachment button.

Select Upload files, browse to where you saved your file, and then click Open.

To email the attachment to your customer along with the sales invoice or credit note, choose Visible to customer (the blue tick means visible). :

Select Save & Email. This opens an email window and allows you to change or add people to send to.
Your customers can see the attachments when they choose View embedded in the email. The file is not attached to the email message directly.
