For non-event polls (standalone, course, learning path), you have the option to upload an image.
For Event Polls within multiple-offer events, you also have the option to copy the poll that is associated with the main event to one of the additional event offers. To do so, select the multiple offer(s) that you wish to copy the poll into, and then click Copy. The poll will be copied to the multiple offer(s) you selected!
