News Article: Modifying the Default Configuration of Safe Exam Browser from August 5, 2025
Starting from August 5, 2025, users will have the ability to modify the default configuration of the Safe Exam Browser (SEB). This change will affect how the browser is set up for exams, offering more flexibility to users and exam administrators.
The default configuration file for SEB is a file with the extension .seb that is typically stored in the user's ZID spaces. This file contains all the browser lockdown settings and exam parameters, and it is usually not necessary to download the browser separately.
To make changes to the default configuration, users can utilize the SEB Configuration Tool. This tool allows users to configure exam settings and save them as an .seb file. Once saved, the file can be found in the user's directory or a designated network/shared folder.
If you're unsure about the location of the default configuration file within your ZID user spaces, the key step to locate it is to check where the .seb file was saved when the configuration tool was used or ask the exam administrator for the configured location. In a managed environment, the default or enforced config might be deployed centrally, but this is outside the scope of standard user space locations.
After August 5, 2025, any changes made to the default configuration will take effect when the Safe Exam Browser is clicked or launched on or after that date. This means that users will be able to customize the browser settings to better suit their needs, making the exam experience more tailored and efficient.
It's important to note that if specific adjustments are made to the default configuration, they will override the original settings. Therefore, users should carefully consider the changes they wish to implement to ensure a smooth exam experience.
In conclusion, the ability to modify the default configuration of SEB from August 5, 2025, offers users and exam administrators more control over the browser settings. To locate the default configuration file, users can utilize the SEB Configuration Tool to check the saved location or consult their exam platform or ZID support for the location of the centrally maintained default SEB configuration.
In the context of the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) modification after August 5, 2025, users can take advantage of data-and-cloud-computing technology by employing the SEB Configuration Tool, which allows for the customization of browser settings by creating and saving personalized .seb files. On the other hand, exam administrators may enforce specific configurations centrally, bypassing the standard user space locations, which highlights the importance of consulting them or exam platforms regarding the location of the default SEB configuration.
