Disables copy/paste. With copy/paste unavailable, students cannot copy question text and copy into translators, nor can they copy text from an external source and paste it into Extempore.
Hides future assignments. Students only see active, past due, and completed assignments.

Accept Late Work
Note: Doesn't apply to Group Assessments to prevent students from being able to overwrite group recordings after the due date. Edit the due date for group assessments to make them available for students after the due date has passed.
When accept late work is unchecked, late work will not be permitted and students will not be able to view or respond to those questions.
If you change the start / end window of an assignment after it's due to make it active again, only students who did not complete will be able to respond. The assessment will remain in the completed folder for students who already completed it.
Enable Language Keyboard
Allows students to use a language keyboard for the target language when submitting written responses.
If Safe Mode is turned on, students will not be able to copy and paste. If the solution your students are currently using involves copy and paste, you might want to enable the language keyboard. Learn more about adding accents and diacritics in Extempore here.
