How it's used
Focuses on supplementary additions rather than primary components. It is frequently used in formal or administrative contexts, such as contracts or digital file attachments, where something is appended to an existing base. While it can be used in daily speech, it often carries a slightly technical or professional tone compared to simpler verbs like 加.
Examples
A few new clauses have been added to the contract.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 加, which is a general verb for adding. Use 附加 when referring to an attachment or a supplementary item, whereas 加 is used for increasing amounts or adding ingredients to a mixture.
