When exam pressures rise, how can your Linewize tools help?
Exams and end-of-year deadlines can take a toll on student wellbeing. Here are three ways your Linewize tools can help:
- IT teams: spot online trends. Review trending searches, apps and videos in your Filter dashboard, and share overall insights with wellbeing teams.
- Wellbeing teams: turn alerts into action. Check that Filter and Monitor alerts reach the right staff, and follow up on concerns.
- Teachers: check in. If Classroom Manager shows a student is disengaged, use it as a reason for a supportive conversation.
The takeaway: Linewize tools don’t just protect students. They help you spot concerns early and connect students with support when they need it most.
Classroom Manager - Getting Teachers Started
Less Distraction, more learning
Some teachers haven’t tried Classroom Manager yet. They may not know where to start, be short on time, or not see how screen visibility can help in class.
Our new Getting Started teacher resource gives them an easy starting point, with practical ways to support focus and engagement.
Success tip: Ask these teachers to start small. Share the resource and suggest they try one feature in their next lesson.

NEW: Qustodio Launch Readiness Checklist
A successful Qustodio launch starts with a clear plan. Our new comprehensive checklist covers the whole process in one practical guide, from planning to launch. It sets out the key steps, milestones and communications, so everyone stays aligned and informed.
Use it with our Qustodio Launch Positioning Guide with FAQ. The guide helps staff answer parent questions, explain your school’s offer and set clear expectations. Together, these resources will help you launch with confidence and build a strong school–home partnership around online safety.
You asked, we listened! New Rules Library for teachers
Classroom Manager
We've enabled a much requested feature - improving the Rules section of Classroom Manager. Teachers can now save rule lists to their own library and use them with ANY class, so they set up rules once instead of for every class. Lists carry over to the next school year, and rules can be applied to a group of students as well as to one student or the whole class. This feature is now enabled for every teacher, with no admin setup needed. NOTE: class-specific rules take priority over a rule list, and editing a list updates every class that uses it.
Safe Search extended for more search engines
Linewize Filter
Linewize Filter now has safe search Content Mods for Brave, Yandex, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo, in addition to Google. This helps keep students protected whichever search engine they use. You’ll find the new mods in your existing Content Modification list. They’re available with the Chrome extension or Companion Mode for Windows, so make sure you’re on the latest Chrome extension version.
New Productivity filtering category

Web content including Office 365, OneNote, Canva and Adobe now sit in a new Productivity category instead of the Software category, making it easier to see and manage the learning tools students use every day. If your school has rules that target the Software category, review them now so these apps are still allowed or blocked the way you want.
Customise your class view with the new Custom View & Quick Access Toolbar
Classroom Manager
Last month we introduced a new customisable layout and a Quick Access Toolbar in Classroom Manager that lets teachers manually arrange student tiles to match their actual classroom seating, and quickly apply bulk actions to multiple students.
Haven’t tried it yet? Take a moment to explore these new features and discover how they could make managing your classroom easier!
Content Modification Update - Enforce Basic Google Search
Linewize Filter
A new Content Mod feature now sends students to Google’s “Web” tab, which shows simple text-based results. This feature used to be part of the “Hide Google AI Overview” mod but now works independently so you can turn on each one separately to suit your school. The AI Overview mod still removes AI summaries from Google results. You’ll find the new mod in your Content Modification list. Available with the Chrome extension or Companion Mode for Windows, so make sure you’re on the latest Chrome extension version.
Smarter control over YouTube with URL Mods
Linewize Filter
URL Mods let you limit distracting content without blocking a whole site. They work alongside Content Mods and quietly redirect certain URLs in the background. The first release covers YouTube Shorts and YouTube Playables. Students who open either one will land on the YouTube home page instead, so YouTube stays available for learning. These can be used now in Chrome Extension v4.0.5, on Chrome and in Companion Mode.
