Information for Exam Administrators and Teachers:
Replacing the apps doesn't affect anything on your end, only the app students use to take an exam is different. All existing exams can be used as you normally would.

*This app will replace the current Chromebook application as Google continues to deprecate its support for all ChromeOS applications.
