This proactive step ensures students are well-prepared and their devices meet all necessary requirements before starting the assessment.
   
10. Refreshed UI to Block Embedded Content
    Assessment administrators can allow students to access specific web pages during their assessment; however, some pages may incorporate embedded content from external sources. To provide students with a clear indication that they do not have access to this content, we’ve provided a refreshed UI that will only block the embedded areas, ensuring the rest of the web page is visible.
