Why: Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. When students use LockDown Browser to access a quiz, they cannot print, copy, visit other websites, access other applications, or close a quiz until it is submitted for grading. Quizzes created for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with standard browsers.
LockDown Browser is accessible through Canvas.

Note:
- If your test assignment title has an emoji. Please be aware that Respondus can not be applied to that test with this function and will restrict it.

-Another way to fix respondus to take the quiz is by going back to settings unchecking "Sync to Skyward" saving, then applying Respondus once more, then going back to check that box again.
