### Project Name (if applicable, otherwise just type n/a) Wye Alliance Citizen Science ### Question I’d like to make some edits via Bulk Upload to around 200 entries in our database (which has 25K entries in total). Most of these entries already have photos attached. The edits only affect multi-choice answers. I realise that photos cannot be added with bulk upload and that I’ll need to do the upload in 2 goes due to the 150 row limit. My question is: if I run a bulk upload to do this edit will the existing photos be lost? ### I confirm I have read the User Guide at [docs.epicollect.net](http://docs.epicollect.net) on ### I confirm I have searched for an answer in this community. on ### I confirm I have tried asking the same question to Perplexity AI with the tag #epicollect5, but it did not help. on ---

Please note that media files are not affected by bulk uploads. For your peace of mind, you may wish to try with one entry first and double-check.
