Adding an option to restrict file types accepted for the course upload. For example, one of the documents our learners need to submit must be a PDF document. However, some learners take a picture or screenshot of their completed form online and upload that, which we have to decline. Since some of our documents are subject to government standards/guidelines, this is an important aspect of managing uploads.
If there was a way to set up file type restrictions within the course settings, that would be very helpful, such as the ability to choose and say, only allow "PDFs" or only allow "JPEG" or allow all file types.
We do include instructions for the learner to submit it in PDF format, but they either skip over that instruction or are not tech-savvy so they aren't sure how to save and upload documents from their device. They are only familiar with where pictures are stored on their device.
Thank you for taking the time to share your idea with us. After careful consideration, we’ve determined that we are unable to prioritize this suggestion at this time. While we recognize the value of your request, current roadmap commitments and resource constraints prevent us from pursuing it in the near future.
Please know that your idea remains in our repository, and we will revisit it as we continue evaluating improvements to course uploads, including the ability to set restrictions on the types of documents that can be uploaded.
Your feedback plays an important role in shaping our platform, and we truly appreciate your effort in helping us improve. Thank you again for your contribution!
