# Adding a Reference to an Online Assessment

Reference documents can be added to [online assessments](/v1/docs/navigating-to-assessments). Files are limited to **PDFs**. Students can view a reference through a button on the toolbar in online testing, and the resource may be printed with test booklets.

**Step 1:** To add a resource, select **Upload Reference Document** near the bottom of the **General** tab in the appropriate assessment.

**Step 2:** Select the correct PDF file from your computer, then select **Upload.**

**Step 3:** To print the reference, navigate to **Test Available**, locate the appropriate test in the list, then select the three dots for additional options. **Print Reference Document** will print the uploaded document.
