This article provides a workaround for uploading a PDF in a challenge on AdvocateHub, as direct PDF uploads are not supported.
User Query: Users may want to upload a PDF directly into a challenge for members to read without requiring them to upload anything.
Current Limitation: AdvocateHub currently supports direct uploads of videos, images, and links within challenges, but not PDFs.
Suggested Workaround: To incorporate a PDF into your challenge, follow these steps:
-
Upload the PDF Online:
- Use an online storage platform such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox to upload your PDF.
- Secure the PDF with a password if necessary.
-
Provide the Link in the Challenge:
- In your challenge, include the link to the PDF.
- Provide any necessary access information, such as the password to access the PDF.
-
Ensure Engagement with the PDF:
- Add a step in the challenge for users to click an "I read it" button after accessing the PDF.
- To verify that users have read the PDF, you can create a quiz related to the content of the PDF.
-
Allocate Reward Points:
- Incentivize participation by allocating reward points for accessing the PDF and completing the quiz.
Example Setup:
- Challenge Title: Read the [PDF Document]
- Stage 1: Click on the link to access the PDF: [Link to PDF]
- Include the password for the PDF if applicable.
- Stage 2: Click "I read it" to acknowledge you have read the document.
- Stage 3: Complete the quiz to test your understanding of the PDF content.
- Add questions related to the PDF content to ensure engagement and comprehension.
Conclusion: Using this workaround allows you to effectively integrate PDFs into your AdvocateHub challenges, ensuring that your members can access and engage with the content you provide.
