Choosing a GIF

Once you've selected your desired GIF(s), they will automatically be added to the specified answer options for the question.
Where are answer images shown? Added GIFs will display to the left of the answer choices on the Presentation View and under the question's text on the Participant View.
All answer options have an added GIF from the Giphy database.
Removing an Answer's Text Label
If you do not wish to display any text for your answer image options, you can remove the text labels by clearing out all text from the answer option's text field.
First, click on the answer option's text field directly or the blue Edit button with a pencil icon to bring down the answer option's Edit Panel. Next, highlight all of the answer text.
The default text is highlighted for the answer option.
Next, delete the text content by pressing the Backspace or Delete key on your keyboard to remove the text. Finally, click the green Save button or simply press the Enter key to save your changes. Once you've cleared out the text field, three dashes (---) will appear to indicate that the answer option has no text label.
The three dashes indicate no text has been added to the answer option.
