Interview’s Custom files<\/em> feature allows an interviewer to test a candidate\u2019s ability to manipulate data, navigate a file system programmatically, and prove their expertise in a system very similar to what they\u2019ll encounter on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u26a0\ufe0fNote that this custom files feature is currently not available for use with multi-file frameworks like React or Angular. For these environments you can add the file directly to the file directory when you create the question<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, for Jupyter Notebooks, proceed to Step 3<\/em> of the question wizard and then just drag your files from your desktop directly into the notebook. Once you save the question they’ll be stored with it and always load when you load the question.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you have uploaded the files, you can attach them to questions. Typical use-cases for custom files are importing data from CSVs files for analysis, or analyzing log files in text format to aid in debugging exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2757 Image file types (.jpg<\/code>, .png<\/code>, .pdf<\/code>, etc.) will not render as images in the pad. The file bytecode will be displayed instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wish to show images to a candidate, include it in the candidate instructions<\/a> using Markdown instead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
