Add an attachment to an exercise

This functionality allows you to add attachments to a specific exercise, instead of adding an attachment to the whole assignment. The attachment is then visible to participants in the same way as it is when added to the whole assignment. If the participant navigates to the next exercise, the attachment of that exercise (if any) is shown.

The following file types can be added as attachments and can be previewed within the test with 25MB as the maximum upload size per file:

• .pdf
• .png, .jpg, .jpeg
• .mp4
• .gif

Other file types can be uploaded as an attachment, but will need to be downloaded by the participant to be able to access the file during the assignment. Other file types include but are not limited to:

• .docx
• .zip
• .xls, .xlsx, .csv
• .txt
• .py

Uploading the following system files is prohibited: 

• .avi
• .exe
• .sh
• .php
• .bat
• .com
• .cmd
• .inf
• .ipa
• .osx
• .pif
• .run
• .wsh

If you wish to add one of the above system files as an attachment, the file must be compressed into a zip file before uploading.

To add an attachment to an exercise, follow the steps below.
