What Magma Automatically Detects
With the latest version of PDF Upload, Magma can:
Extract tables
Automatically generate answers for straightforward questions (e.g., simple numeric answers or basic expressions)
If a question requires interpretation, multiple steps, or open-ended reasoning (such as proofs, explanations, or multi-part prompts), Magma will prompt you to manually enter the answer to ensure accuracy.
After Uploading – What to Expect
You may need to:
Manually add answers for open-ended or complex questions
Review questions that include tables or advanced math symbols
Adjust formatting for questions with images or multi-step instructions
We recommend reviewing all uploaded content before assigning it to students.
