`[upload="item"]` is a **template**, read by [`file-uploader`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/file-uploader), [`file-input`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/file-input), [`configurator-file-input`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/configurator-file-input): it is never defined on its own.

## Where it can go

- **Inside any of:** [`file-uploader`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/file-uploader), [`file-input`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/file-input), [`configurator-file-input`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/configurator-file-input).
- **Out of place,** it stays in the page and does nothing.

## What it requires

Nothing beyond Smootify: it works on every plan.
