Support tickets — the single most common question of the quarter.

Where can I find the attachments I uploaded? I know I attached them to something but I can't find which task.

The refinement conversation worth repeating

The obvious reading is "build an attachments page." Refinement pushed on the why and found two different problems wearing one sentence:

  1. People cannot find a file they know exists → a search problem
  2. People want their files out of the product → an export problem

Those need different solutions. Shipping an attachments page would have solved neither well.

This is what section 4 of How to use this Agile template means about the so that clause. Without the why, you build the first thing the sentence suggests.
