NOTE! If your Chromebook is from 2017 or later, it won't work in kiosk mode unless the Chromebook is centrally managed by an administrator. To use your device in kiosk mode, ask your administrator for help. To run your Chromebook in kiosk mode, you need a license for kiosk mode (Google's support page).

Student computer lockdown OFF

To use DigiExam where the student computer lockdown feature is off, the DigiExam app needs to be added as a normally installed app. Students will use this app when logged in to the Chromebook (their user) without being in kiosk mode.

1. Follow the guide above to install the Kiosk app
2. Go to Devices → Chrome → Apps & extensions → Users & browsers (figure 5)

3. On the DigiExam app, make sure Force install + pin to Chrome OS taskbar is chosen (figure 6).

5. Find the heading Apps and Extensions and click on Additional Settings. Select either the main organization unit(s) or the sub-organization unit(s) for devices that the app should be installed on.

To check if the DigiExam app is installed on a managed Chromebook:

1. Log in to a user
