+An observable is a piece of information about an investigation, for example, a suspicious URL or a file hash. Use observables to identify correlated events and better understand the severity and scope of a case.
+
+To create an observable:
+
+. Click the **Observables** tab, then click **Add observable**.
++
+NOTE: Each case can have a maximum of 50 observables.
++
+. Provide the necessary details:
+** **Type**: Select a type for the observable. You can choose a preset type or a <<cases-observable-types,custom one>>. 
+** **Value**: Enter a value for the observable. The value must align with the type you select. 
+** **Description** (Optional): Provide additional information about the observable. 
+
+. Click **Add observable**. 
+
+After adding an observable to a case, you can remove or edit it by using the **Actions** menu (**…**).

 === Copy the case UUID
 
 Each case has a universally unique identifier (UUID) that you can copy and share. To copy a case's UUID to a clipboard, go to the Cases page and select *Actions* -> *Copy Case ID* for the case you want to share. Alternatively, go to a case's details page, then from the *More actions* menu (…​), select *Copy Case ID*.
