Select the users responsible for reviewing and approving the attachments by clicking the +Add approvers 4 button on the panel that appears.

Check the Approve files only 6 box if you don’t want to start a task/folder/project approval.
-
Click the Advanced settings 7 button if you need to:
-

All attachments continue to appear under the task’s description field, but now attachments are divided into:

Not for approval section (for attachments that aren’t in review).
Alternatively, you can add files while creating a task, folder, or project approval.
