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.).
