AI Overlay for D2L Brightspace Native Quiz Lockdown on Mac
D2L Brightspace offers a set of native quiz restrictions that work without any third-party proctor add-on: password protection, IP restriction, time limit enforcement, and Prevent moving backwards through pages. For institutions that want lightweight security without Respondus, these are the default tools.
D2L native security menu sits under Restrictions and Advanced Properties for a quiz. Instructors check Password, IP Restrictions, Prevent moving backwards through pages, Allow hints, and a hard time limit with one of three Exceeded Time Limit Behaviours. Until recently, Disable Right Click and Disable Pager/Alerts were also available, though D2L deprecated Disable Right Click for accessibility reasons.

No. That setting only governs the Previous button inside the quiz tab.
