# How do I create a File Upload question in New Quizzes?

When [creating a quiz](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-using-New-Quizzes/ta-p/1173), you can create a File Upload question in New Quizzes. You can limit the number of files and the file extensions that can be uploaded by students.

You can also [duplicate File Upload questions](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-individual-question-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/404516) to create a new question.

**Note:** DocViewer commenting and annotations tools are not available when grading file upload submissions in SpeedGrader.
