Note: This feature is currently in beta, which means it’s still being tested. Some questions may not convert perfectly, and you may need to make small edits. We love feedback—feel free to reach out via chat with any questions or suggestions!
Getting Started

The upload may take up to three minutes. You can close the window and return later to check on the file.
What Magma Will Automatically Detect
With the latest version of PDF Upload, Magma can now:
Extract tables
Automatically generate answers when the answer is simple enough
(e.g., straightforward numeric answers or basic expressions)
If a question requires interpretation, multiple steps, or open-ended reasoning (proofs, explanations, multi-part prompts), the system will prompt you to manually enter the answer—which ensures accuracy.
After Uploading – What to Expect
Because this feature is still in beta, you may need to:
Manually add answers for open-ended or complex questions
Review questions containing tables or advanced math symbols
Adjust formatting, especially if the question includes images or multi-step instructions
Editing an Uploaded Assignment
Click the three dots next to the exercise.
Select Edit Assignment.
From here, you can:
Add or update answers
Modify the question text
Add images
Adjust difficulty levels
Click Save when finished.
Tips for Best Results:
For smoother, more accurate uploads:
Use a vertical layout with clear spacing between questions
Keep one question per line
Limit one image per question
Avoid overly complex layouts
While tables are now supported, simple tables work best
