# Add evidence

You can add new evidence items to your own evidence bank, or if you are a manager then you can also add to the evidence banks of your direct reports (i.e. your team). As a manager you can do this using the existing list of evidence types the Site Administrator has [created](/19/docs/add-an-evidence-type). To add evidence to the evidence bank, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Learn > Record of learning.*
2. Select **Evidence bank** from the sidebar.
3. Select **Add evidence item**.
4. Select an **Evidence type** from the dropdown menu.
5. Click **Use this type.**
6. Complete the required fields and upload any relevant files (e.g. a PDF copy of a certificate).
7. Click **Save evidence item**.
