FAQ & Troubleshooting

🙋🏼 How do I view my students' responses?

On the View Responses page, you select a student, then click the file to view it in a separate window.

🙋🏿‍♂️ Why are students getting an error message when trying to upload a file?

If a student is attempting to upload an unsafe file extension (ie .exe files) or other non-supported files, they will receive a "That file is not supported" notification
