## Overview
A **File upload** question lets learners attach a file as their answer — for example "Please upload your certificate". You can make it a required field so learners can't submit without providing the file. It's one of the question types you can pick when building a Form or quiz.

## Add a File upload question
1. Open the Form you want to edit — you'll land in the question builder in edit mode.
2. Click **Add question** at the bottom of the builder to add a new question.

4. Type your question in the question field. You can add an **Additional description** (optional) in the text box below to explain what learners should upload.
5. Use the **Required** toggle if learners must attach a file. Your changes save automatically as you work.

> **Good to know:** Use the **Additional description** field to spell out exactly what you need — for example the accepted file type or what the document should show.

## Things to keep in mind
* Learners answer by uploading a file, so there are no answer options to set.
* File upload questions record the uploaded file as a response and don't count towards a Form's pass score.
* Changes to a Form save automatically as you work — there's no separate save button.

## FAQs
**Can I make the file upload required?**
Yes. Turn on the **Required** toggle so learners can't submit the Form without attaching a file.

**Is a File upload question graded?**
No. The uploaded file is recorded as the learner's response but isn't auto-marked, so it doesn't contribute to a Form's pass score.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can add and edit Form questions. **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access and cannot change a Form's questions.
