  2. Click edit to bring up the challenge set-up options

There are a range of rich text formatting options that you can use in the full description:

  • Bold and Italics

  • Headers

  • Unordered and numbered lists

  • Links

  • Images

If you would like to add a video to a challenge, you can either upload a video in the media and files section or you can embed a video into the full description using a service such as YouTube or Vimeo. If you attach the video, users will have to download it before they can watch it. If you use YouTube or Vimeo, you will need to embed an iframe code for the video into the page.

For more information about embedding content such as videos, please see Using iframes to embed content.
