About Inserting a Downloadable File

Sometimes you’ll want to attach extra information for your respondents to download — like a consent form, additional reading, or report. By using our insert file feature, you can include a link in your survey that respondents can click to download any file to their device.

Qtip: The instructions below are for inserting a file into a question in the Survey tab, but you can insert a file wherever you have access to the rich content editor (Header/Footer in the Look and feel, emails, etc.).

How To Insert a File

  1. Click on the question text you want to edit.
    Opening the question text editor in the survey; clicking on the rich text editor
  2. Click the Rich Content Editor tab.
  3. Click More.
    Clicking More in the rich content editor
  4. Click the Insert File icon.
    Insert File option in the rich content editor
  5. Choose a file from your Library, or upload a new file from your computer by clicking Upload a New File.
