Getting reference materials or rubric visuals into an evaluation form used to require a workaround that most people found more trouble than it was worth. Flo is the fastest shipping company in the legal talent industry, and closing that gap is exactly the kind of friction we're here to eliminate. Admins can now upload images directly into evaluation questions and forms.
The rich text editor in evaluation forms previously only supported images inserted via URL. That meant admins who wanted to include a visual, whether a rating scale diagram, a competency matrix, or any other reference image, had to host the image somewhere externally first, then paste in a link. Beyond the extra steps, that approach created a dependency on external hosting and required behind-the-scenes configuration to allow those sources. Most admins either skipped images entirely or found workarounds that added unnecessary complexity to form maintenance.
Admins can now upload image files directly from the rich text editor when building or editing questions and forms. Click the image icon in the toolbar to open the Insert Image modal, then drag an image from your file explorer or click to browse. The image is stored and served securely once uploaded.
Supported file types are .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, and .webp, with a maximum file size of 5MB. Images wider than the editor area resize automatically to fit. Once inserted, the image appears at the cursor position and persists both when admins edit the content later and when employees view the form during submission.
Evaluation forms can now include visual context without any external dependencies. A rubric that used to live in a separate document can now be embedded directly in the question it supports. Reviewers get what they need in one place, and admins don't have to maintain a separate hosting setup or worry about broken image links down the road.
This is a small change in terms of steps, but it meaningfully lowers the barrier to building evaluation forms that are actually useful to the people completing them. If there are other places in the form-building experience where you're working around a limitation, keep pushing back on it. We're listening.
