File Upload
Candidates upload any file type as their response — documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, or archives — reviewed manually or with a rubric.
A File Upload question asks candidates to submit a file as their response. This can be any file type — a Word document, PDF, spreadsheet, image, archive, or any other format. Responses are reviewed manually by an assessor, optionally with a rubric for structured scoring.
Writing the Question
Write your question prompt using the content editor. Clearly specify what the candidate should submit — the file type, naming convention, content requirements, and any formatting guidelines. Ambiguous instructions lead to inconsistent submissions that are harder to review. See Content Editor and Layout.
What Candidates See
Candidates see the question prompt and a file upload control. They select a file from their device and submit it. The file is stored securely and becomes available to reviewers in the results interface after the assessment.
Rubric Scoring
Attach a rubric to evaluate submitted files against structured criteria — for example: completeness, accuracy, formatting, depth of analysis. Reviewers open the file and score each criterion independently. See Rubric Scoring.
Common Features
File Upload questions also support: Scoring — Multipliers & Dimensions, Hint, Answer Explanations, Folder & Tags, Preview & Scoring Simulation, and three save modes.
