If you don’t, you may not be able to use Bluebook on your Chromebook or Windows device. Learn how to prepare your device here. Planning to test on a Chromebook? Bluebook now requires your device to run in “Verified Mode”. To check, open Bluebook on your Chromebook and click Test Your Device. If you see a checkmark next to Verified Mode, you’re all set. If you don’t, contact your school and ask them to enable verified mode on your Chromebook or consider using another device if available. Planning to test on a Windows device?
