How to Include Photos in the Activities Transcript (EXCEL Output)

Use this guide to include participant photo uploads when exporting a Recollective Activities Transcript to Microsoft Excel.

By default, images are excluded from Excel exports to minimize file size. Including photos significantly increases the generated file size and may extend download duration.
