## Key takeaways

- Upload PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, DOCX, PNG or JPG files of up to 25 MB, one per question.
- Files go to private storage. Nobody, including the fund, opens a file until a virus check says it's clean.
- You can replace or remove a file until you send your answers.
- A file that fails the virus or file type check is not accepted. Upload a clean copy.

Some questions in a fund's request ask for a file, such as a revenue schedule or a cap table. Each of those questions takes one file.

## Upload it

1. On the question, drag your file onto **Drop a file here**, or tap **Choose a file**.
2. A bar shows the upload. Tap **Cancel** to stop.
3. When it's done, you see **File uploaded** and the file name. The check starts straight away.

Accepted: PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, DOCX, PNG or JPG, up to 25 MB. Remove anything you can't share yet before you upload.

## The virus check

Every file goes to private storage that only the fund's team can open, and is checked for viruses before anyone opens it. The file shows:

| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Checking for viruses** | The check is running, usually for under a minute. The page updates on its own |
| **Checked** | The file is clean and ready |
| **Not accepted** | It failed the virus or file type check. Upload a clean copy |

You can't send your answers while a file is still being checked.

## Replace or remove

Tap **Replace** to upload a different file, or the bin to remove it. You can do both until you send your answers. If the fund asks for a change to that question later, you can upload a new file then.

## Frequently asked questions

### My file is larger than 25 MB. What can I do?
Export a smaller version, such as a PDF with smaller images, or split it and ask the fund where to send the rest.

### Can I upload a ZIP or a Google Sheets link?
No. Download the sheet as XLSX or CSV and upload that.
