If you see a page titled “Approve Application” just select the checkbox and hit OK
An "About Lockdown Browser" will appear next. Just select the “Continue to Lockdown Browser button.” It may take a minute for your list of quizzes to load. Quizzes labeled with Required are already configured to require LDB. Quizzes labeled with Not Required don’t require LDB.
To modify the settings for a specific quiz, select the down arrow to the left of the quiz title and select Settings . This expands the list of the LDB settings.
Select “Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam”. This further expands the LDB settings list.
Configure advanced settings, select the "+" icon to the left of the Advanced Settings heading. This will expand the list of advanced settings.

Notes
When copying quizzes from previous courses
If you want to continue to use LDB on a quiz copied from a previous course configured to use LDB, copy the quiz(zes) to the new course in eLC, open up that quiz (in the new course) and select the LockDown Browser tab. Select the “Fix It” button if it appears next to the name of the quiz. The quiz will then be renamed, with the Requires Lockdown Browser added to the original name of the quiz.
Submission/Attempt Views
If you have required LDB in your tests, students will be required to use LDB to view the attempt(s) and submission views unless you disable LDB after the test closes. To disable LDB, you will need to return to the Lockdown Browser Tab in quizzes and modify the settings for a specific quiz to not require LDB.
