Description

Steps to Replicate

  1. Log in as Administrator

  2. Access an Ultra based Course

  3. Add new content > Assessment > Test

    • Create a Test with 1 essay question

  4. Log in as a Student enrolled in the Course

  5. Open the Test and add a pdf attachment to the main question answer area

    • Additionally add another pdf file to the "Additional Content" area

    • Submit the Test

  6. Log in as the Administrator and access the Test Submissions

    • View the Student Attempt and observe the ellipses menu for each file submission

Observed Behavior:
The file submitted in the "Additional Content" area can be viewed inline using Box however the other file cannot be previewed.
​Expected Behavior:
Both file submissions should be available for preview in Boxview for inline grading

Resolution / Workaround
