FAQ
Where can I find application usage and active licensing data? App data is managed separately within GoGuardian Discover. Open Discover from the app switcher at the top of the navigation menu. Why does a student’s total time not match the sum of school hours and teacher sessions? Total time combines all web activity across both in-school and out-of-school hours, including independent browsing. Some sessions may overlap, or activity may occur outside scheduled school hours.Resources
