Enable Safe Mode

Add an extra level of security with your assessments by activating safe mode.

Written by Sam Slagle

Safe Mode protects academic integrity by preventing students from downloading assessment content, triggering navigation warnings, disabling copy-and-paste, and hiding future assessments.

What does Safe Mode do?

  1. Activates Student Navigation Warnings for single-attempt questions, displaying a warning if the student navigates away from the browser page.

  2. Disables copy/paste. With copy/paste unavailable, students cannot copy question text into translators, nor can they copy text from an external source and paste as a written answer.

  3. Hides future assignments so students see only active, completed, and past-due assignments.

Note: Navigation Warnings are not supported for Group Assessments.
