This walks a teacher through Proctorly end to end. Students need no account — they take the exam through a single link you share.
1

Sign in

Sign in to your Proctorly dashboard with email and password, or with Google or Microsoft. New accounts go through a short onboarding (“About you” and creating a first exam), with an in-product guided tour.
2

Create a test

Start a new test, choose a content source — a Google Form, PDF, or Word document — and set a name, duration, and color. Proctorly generates a unique student link. See Building a test.
Google Forms is the primary, best-supported source. The student experience for PDF/Word exams should be confirmed before relying on it — see the note in Building a test.
3

Configure monitoring

On the test’s Settings, choose what Proctorly watches for — face detection, tab switching, full screen, audio, and more — and decide whether to use a waiting room or on-screen student alerts. See Configuring monitoring.
4

Schedule and share

Optionally set opens at / closes at times, then share the test’s single link with your class by email, your LMS, or a class message. Everyone uses the same link — there’s no per-student login. See Scheduling & sharing.

Watch live (optional)

Open the Live monitor to see active sessions as tiles. You can pause or lock a student, message them, take a snapshot, admit from the waiting room, and use mass actions. See Live monitoring.
6

Review the report

After students submit, open the Report. Each session shows an integrity score and its flags. Confirm or dismiss flags, set a Clear or Escalate verdict, review snapshots, and export to CSV. See Reviewing results.
