    2. PDF

      PDF upload questions

      If your document doesn't come out well-formatted, see other PDF options. Prototype overlay issues are discussed beneath.

    3. Prototype/Photo

      Image file uploads work basically the same way equally other file types:

      Image upload

      except that it is good practice to also provide information for ii prototype-specific fields:

      • Alt text — short alternative text for those who are visually-impaired or using non-visual spider web browsers. For case, Alt text for a photo of a terminate sign might be "blood-red stop sign" (without quote marks)
      • Tooltip — this is text that will pop up when someone who can see the image mouses over it. Information technology can exist the same as the Alt text.

      You tin at present click the blue "Upload" button (toward the bottom right corner of your screen) to upload your paradigm.


    4. Copy-and-Paste from Web Folio (HTML)

      5. 4 easy steps:

      1. Give your document a Championship
      2. Re-create all the text and images yous desire in your certificate from the desired web page(s), then paste what yous copied into the big information entry box (nether Document Title). Y'all can delete any content not needed for discussion (eastward.g. irrelevant text and graphics, advertisements, site navigation links, whatsoever!) from the information entry window to give your readers a clean, customized certificate.
      3. If in that location is video or audio content from that page (or from other pages or sites!) that you also want in your certificate, re-create and paste the embed codes from each media thespian (run across next department); copying the media role player itself, unlike copying text and images, volition not work.
      4. Click the blueish "Upload" button (toward the bottom right corner of your screen) to upload your document

      web HTML option

      For video and audio players, paste their embed codes (sometimes referred to as "Share" or "Sharing" information) into the NowComment data entry box wherever you want that media player to announced in your document; you have control over the folio arrangement! We recommend that you lot utilize the Edit Menu of your operating system to do the pasting of the embed code (what some of them telephone call call "Paste and Match Style") instead of but doing a regular "Paste" via Control-V or Command-V; this ensures that you lot're non inserting any extraneous HTML formatting from the embed lawmaking that might interfere with our software.

      Over again, notation that copy-and-pasting the media histrion itself won't work!

      Hither's a YouTube example of where to find, and so copy-and-paste, an embed code:


      Embed code YouTube example

      You can have content from multiple websites in a single NowComment certificate, either by:

      • copy-and-pasting various text, images, and media player embed codes from various sites into the initial certificate upload, or
      • later appending new material (eastward.g. adding a video to an MS Word document)

      Hints for Copy-and-Paste Uploads

      • PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Word, and other documents in proprietary formats, fifty-fifty if online, are not really HTML, and copy-and-pasting their content into an HTML data entry window won't give good results. For file conversion tips see our upload hints page.

      • In that location are editing control buttons at the top of the copy-and-paste window:

        Data Entry Window Editing Controls

        The icons (reading left to correct) permit you:

        • Maximize the size of the data entry window (full screen)
        • Bold text
        • Italicize text
        • Format text equally a numbered list
        • Format text as a bulleted listing
        • Create a hyperlink
        • Remove a hyperlink
        • For those comfortable working with HTML, employ the "Source" button to view the HTML source… or edit and then upload the certificate's HTML markup for maximum control over your document's display
        • Go additional "Help" data on these controls

    5. "Text I'll Write At present"

      6. Y'all tin can write something on the spot with this selection, e.g. a quick note or an thought y'all'd like some quick feedback on. You can add HTML web content to it if yous wish. This module looks and works just similar the Web Content (HTML copy-and-paste) module above.



  • Document Preview & Editing (and image overlays)

    • In one case you lot've titled and uploaded your certificate, NowComment will then preview your certificate'southward formatting (note the faint red word "Preview" in the groundwork) and make pocket-sized edits (e.m. fixing typos):


    Upload preview

    Text and images will appear in the Preview window; video/audio media players will not, but every bit long as the video/audio embed code is showing in Preview the player will appear online when the certificate upload is finished.

    If NowComment detects multiple "paragraphs" that don't end with punctuation (perchance from trying to re-create-and-paste a PDF or other file with extraneous carriage returns) it will prove yous an excerpt of your document:

    1. as currently formatted (with mayhap divide paragraphs), and likewise
    2. with lines joined (possibly restoring coherent paragraphs)

    You then chose which formatting you prefer; you probably don't want to join lines in poems and another special case documents (but in these cases you lot should utilise line breaks instead of wagon returns, meet our tips on avoiding unwanted white space).

    If extensive changes are needed, or if the document's formatting is a trouble, information technology's best to make the edits exterior of NowComment and then re-upload the document. Merely if you're satisfied with your document, click "Keep".

    NOTE: NowComment can display the vast majority of images without problem. Some PDFs and Microsoft documents, however, contain "overlay" images that look like a normal paradigm but accept both a text layer (e.g. the names of states) displayed on top of an image layer (due east.g. a map of a country). HTML, the bones building cake of the Web and NowComment, can't display such two-layer images properly (amongst other problems, they use "absolute positioning" which doesn't piece of work with browser windows of various sizes. If NowComment detects overlays we'll flag the problem before you lot reach the Preview page and will nowadays some workaround options. For more information run across our overlay documentation.

  • Copying Documents

    • This isn't necessarily part of uploading a document, but it lets y'all upload a document just once fifty-fifty if y'all want multiple groups/classes to annotate on it separately from each other.

    1. Make Multiple Copies (no copying to Groups)

      2. Copy Document without assigning to Groups

      If you lot aren't using Groups, specify how many copies you want, what suffix should be appended to each document and so you can distinguish the various copies class one some other (default is copy 1, copy 2), and whether existing comments on the original should or shouldn't be carried over to each copy (teachers might want to "prime number the pump " past inserting some notes or questions as comments).


    2. Brand Multiple Copies and Share them with Groups

      3. The paradigm below looks similar the ane in a higher place, but the 2nd (rightmost) tab is shown here.


      Copy Document by assigning to Groups

      This characteristic pulls up a checkbox list of all the Groups you're an Admin for (in the screenshot example above there'south just the Customer Service grouping) and lets you share a copy the document with each Group you click on (or click the "Select all" link for all) and automatically invite each selected Grouping to the document… all in a single footstep! The Grouping name is automatically used as a suffix at the end of the document name so you lot tin can distinguish the copies from one another.

    That'due south all y'all need to know about uploading documents. It's very easy and just takes about a minute; try uploading a exam document now!
