Upload files through the Asset Manager

Upload documents, images, or media files.

Use a consistent file naming convention to make it easier to locate files. You should:

• Include the question name if applicable.
• Include descriptive words in the name.
• Use CamelCase (capitalize the first letter of each word) for multi-word names.
• Use underscores (_) or dashes (-) to separate logical sections of the name.
• Do not include spaces or special characters, except underscores (_) and dashes (-).
