Enabling Verified Mode on Chromebooks

Starting in 2026, Bluebook will work on Chromebooks only if verified mode is enabled. This setting enhances test security. We encourage you to configure it now. Once you enable it for the organizational unit where Bluebook is installed, any device added later will inherit the setting.

If Bluebook Isn’t Installed

If Bluebook isn’t installed already, go to How to Install Bluebook on Chromebooks for complete instructions, including the steps to enable verified mode.
