Add attachments to an assignment in a question bank – Ans

Attachments can be added to use as an attachment for staff or as an attachment for participants. A file or a link can be added as an attachment.

The following file-types can be used as an attachment, with a maximum file-size of 25MB:

.zip

Uploading the following system files is prohibited:

.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.

By default, files are hidden from participants and can be set visible in the settings. If this setting is enabled, the files can be viewed by students during the taking-session.

Links are never visible for participants. They can be used as an alternative for uploading a file. This is mostly used when the file-size is greater than the upload limit of your school.
