Quiz Question Restrict File Type

I need to create an assessment in which students are to upload multiple files of specified types. I also need a place

for them to submit some text, preferable not as another file.

I'm pretty sure I can only do this as a quiz, because assignments only let one file to be uploaded, in other words, only have one question. My plan then is to create a file upload question for each file they need to submit.

So, I can see where to create an new question and where to specify it as a "file upload" question.

But i absolutely cannot find any button to restrict the the file type.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

Unfortunately, you cannot restrict the file type in File Upload question type.

As a side note, Assignments do allow students to upload multiple files to a single submission: How do I upload a file as an assignment submission in Canvas? 

Add Another File

Add Another File

If you need to upload another file, click the Add Another File link.

Note: You can only upload additional files from your computer.
