When a policy definition with `manual` effect is assigned, you have the option to include **evidence**, which refers to optional supplemental information which supports the custom compliance attestation. Evidence itself is stored in Azure Storage, and you can specify the storage blob container in the [policy assignment's metadata](../concepts/assignment-structure.md#metadata) under the property `evidenceStorages`. Further details of the evidence file are described in the attestation JSON resource.

When a policy definition with `manual` effect is assigned, you can set the compliance states of targeted resources or scopes through custom [attestations](attestation-structure.md). Attestations also allow you to provide optional supplemental information through the form of metadata and links to **evidence** that accompany the chosen compliance state. The person assigning the manual policy can recommend a default storage location for evidence by specifying the `evidenceStorages` property of the [policy assignment's metadata](../concepts/assignment-structure.md#metadata).
