The question of file type

How to use the file type question ?

On your platform, you can add a File question type to your forms. This question type allows candidates to upload a file directly via the form, according to the settings you define. It is particularly useful when you want to collect supporting documents, resumes, ID documents, or any other relevant files related to an application or request. It is also possible to display a File question only under certain conditions, depending on the candidate's previous answers. This allows you, for example, to request an additional document only if the candidate has selected a specific option in a previous question.
