For learners
Many courses require you to upload a file as part of an assignment. Having trouble submitting a file? Here are a couple things you can try:
Disable pop-up blockers. When uploading a file, we'll pop up a dialogue to allow you to select the file from your computer or other location. If you're blocking pop-ups on your browser, disable that for the site or disable temporarily. Check under your browser settings to see if you have an ad blocker, tracking blocker, anti-virus plug-in, or pop-up blocker and try disabling it for the site. Have you blocked "cookies" for the site? Unblock them.
Check the size of the file you are uploading. We allow image, audio, and text files up to 100 MB, and video files (or multiple files, using the "any file" option) up to 500MB. Do you have a file that is too large? There are instructions for compressing a video for different devices and file types online that you can find with a Google search.
Refresh the page. There is a security feature that can cause the file manager to "time out" after you have it open for several minutes. Clear your browser cache. Refresh your browser and try again immediately.
Don't see an option to upload a file? If you're on a mobile device, try uploading from a laptop or desktop instead.
Try an alternate internet source. Your network may have a firewall that is blocking the site. If the issue seems to be related to a school or workplace internet source, talk with your IT department and try to have the issue resolved by whitelisting pathwright.com and all subprocessors.
