New Honorlock Feature: Custom Workspace Scan Instructions Available November 17
November 12, 2026
Starting November 17, 2026, a new feature in Honorlock allows you to provide custom, step-by-step video instructions to students before their exam begins.
Clear Verification: Prompt students on-screen to display permitted items (e.g., showing both sides of scratch paper, clearing calculator memory, or showing formula sheets) directly to their webcam.
Reduces Student Confusion: Students receive step-by-step prompts so they know exactly what to show and when.
100% Optional: This feature is off by default under Environment Integrity settings. Existing exam setups will not change unless you choose to turn it on.
Instructor-Reviewed: Prompts are recorded for your own video review in the session viewer; Honorlock proctors do not review this step, and no automated flags are generated.
How to Use It:
- Enable Workspace Scan Photo and toggle on Additional Workspace Recording Instructions in your exam settings.
- Add two to four short, clear prompts (e.g., "Hold up approved formula sheet").
- (Optional) Save instructions to your Settings Profile to quickly apply them across multiple courses.
- Note: This feature requires exams using Workspace Scan Photo (not Room Scan Video) and a working computer webcam.
