# Proctorio Templates

***The Proctorio tab in Global Settings is used to create and manage Proctorio templates.***

When the remote proctoring tool Proctorio is activated, a new tab appears under **Admin > Global Settings**. Use this tab to create Proctorio templates.

- For more information about Proctorio, see [Proctorio](/v1/docs/proctorio-2).
- For information about Proctorio settings, see [Lockdown options](/v1/docs/lock-down-options).

## What are Proctorio templates?

Templates are predefined configurations that define how Proctorio should behave during an exam using that template. A **Default** template is always available; it can be modified but not deleted. You can create as many additional templates as required.

## Using Proctorio templates

When [scheduling an exam](/v1/docs/scheduling-1), you can select one of the templates created here. The scheduled exam will use the Proctorio settings from the selected template.

For more information about Proctorio settings, see [Lockdown options](/v1/docs/lock-down-options).

Once a template is selected during scheduling, it is still possible to adjust the settings at the schedule level.

### Before using a template

Before first use, adjust and save the **Default** template to meet your requirements. If you do not do this, the scheduled exam may use unwanted settings.

### Save settings

Save any adjustments using the button at the bottom of the page.

### Timing of changes

Newly saved settings only take effect on schedules activated **after** the save. Changes to Proctorio settings do not apply to already activated schedules.

#### Applying changes to existing schedules

To apply the latest changes to an already activated schedule, deactivate and reactivate it as follows:

1. Go to **Delivery**.
2. Open the **Schedule** tab.
3. Open the schedule.
4. Click **Edit schedule settings**.
5. Click **Deactivate**.
6. Click **Activate**, then **Activate** again.

This forces the schedule to use the updated Proctorio settings.

              What if the schedule has already started?

              

If at least one candidate has started the schedule, it can no longer be deactivated. In this case, create a new schedule for all candidates who have not yet started and archive the original. Alternatively, remove all remaining candidates. See [Update/change schedule](https://help.cirrusassessment.com/docs/updatechange-schedule) for more information.
