    Hi Rose,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Regarding the "Browse Files" button showing in the background of your image upload buttons on all your forms, this issue can sometimes be caused by stuck form styling or cached data.

    Let me show you how to fix it:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder.
    2. Click the Paint Roller icon on the right side to open Form Designer.
    3. Go to the Themes tab.
    4. Select any theme and click Use Theme to reset the form's styling.

    This action should remove the stuck "Browse Files" overlay. If the issue persists, please try clearing your form caches. You can find detailed instructions on how to clear form caches in our How to Clear Form Caches guide.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Do I have to do this for every single form we have?

    Hi Rose,

    For the issue with the "Browse Files" button showing on all your forms, unfortunately, the styling reset or cache clearing needs to be done on each form individually to ensure the problem is resolved for each one.

    If you have many forms, this can be a bit time-consuming, but it is necessary to clear the stuck styling on every form where the issue appears.

    Once you complete these steps on each form, the problem should be resolved.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Rose,

    We can use Custom CSS code to remove the Browse files text from the button. Let me walk you through it:

    1. First, copy this code:

    .form-line[data-type="control_fileupload"] .inputContainer > p {
    display: none !important;
    }

    2. In Form Builder, click on the Paint Roller icon on the right side of the page to open Form Designer.

    3. Now, in the Form Designer menu, click on the Styles tab, scroll down and paste the code into the Inject CSS Code box. That’s it. The code is automatically saved.
