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.
