Above: An example of the respondent image upload question
Not to be confused with the PDF library content block, which allows project admins to upload PDFs which can then be viewed and/or downloaded by users.
This question type allows a respondent to upload one or more images (in JPEG or PNG format) or documents (in PDF format) to be included with their comment. The maximum file size is 40MB.
This question can be used in a number of ways - for instance, a pothole reporting map where respondents can upload photos of potholes they've noticed - or, as a way for a respondent to upload supporting documents when responding to a statutory planning consultation.
PDF documents uploaded by respondents are never shown publicly.
Images uploaded by respondents are shown publicly, after passing through an automated moderation process - any images that fail moderation will not be shown publicly.
