The content block contains one or more image files. All common image formats are allowed, but it’s important to ensure that solvers' browsers support the format. Therefore, it is recommended to use .png, .jpg, or .gif formats.
Images can be displayed as a separate content block, and in this case, you can also define the display size. The image can be referenced in other content blocks within the same task anywhere rich text input is possible. More details on adding images can be found here.
To add images, drag them into the image upload frame or click the frame to select files. Files added to the form are immediately saved on the server.
To delete files, click the trash icon at the end of the row. Deletion will take effect after pressing the save button.
When creating a task, the basic fields required for task entry are displayed by default. Additional options appear when clicking the 'More data' link. The additional options selected by the task creator will remain visible in the task entry view after saving.
