Updating Respondus Lockdown Browser

Postby NayeliPlayas_1L » Mon Nov 16, 2020 1:53 pm

In a recent email, Dr.Lavelle mentioned that we need to update Respondus before Midterm 2. Does anyone know how to update respondus?

Open the LockDown Browser and in the upper left corner there's a button that has an i in a circle. Press on that and a box will pop up with a button in the middle that says "Check for newer version". Press on that and it'll say get newer version or something like that; press on that button and it'll update. At least that's what I did, hopefully it works for you too.

I don't know how to update either. I can't find that button. Is it maybe different for a mac laptop because that is what I am using.

Click on the Respondus app and then click on the globe and check for updates

I just checked my Respondus and it did not even need an update so you should be good :)

Do a test run of Lockdown by opening it up before your exam just to check for any pending updates. If you don't see anything, you should be good to go!

I have a Mac laptop and I just went to Finder then Applications. If you downloaded Respondus it should be there. Once you open it up, there's should be a little globe icon in the top left; if you click on it you'll find a little box that you can click on to check for recent updates. Mine was also updated already without me having to update it manually.

I didn't have to update Respondus but I would check the night before you have to use it (now for finals).

Safest bet before exams is just to delete and redownload respondus I think, but I also didn't have to update.
