- Click the bubble next to Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam if it's not already selected.
- Then click the Checkbox next to Allow access to specific external web domains
- In the box that appears, put any web domains that you need your students to have access to separating multiple links with a comma.
e.g. algebra-ebooks.com, calculus-ebooks.com.
