Once flagged, students attempting that test see a small floating webcam widget and are prompted to capture the two photos before or during their attempt. ## Reviewing Captures \[inferred] Captured photos are reviewed through the reporting screen added by the [**Exercise Focused**](/teacher-guide/teacher-guide/plugins/exercise-focused.md) plugin, which this plugin was built alongside — if your platform only has Exercise Monitoring enabled and not Exercise Focused, ask your administrator how captured photos are meant to be reviewed on your installation. ## Things to Know * **This handles sensitive personal data** — ID document photos are a category of data many institutions and privacy regulations treat with extra care. Confirm with your administrator that this plugin's use fits your institution's data protection obligations before relying on it * **Photos are retained temporarily** — Your administrator sets a retention period, after which captured photos are automatically deleted * **This is an early-stage feature** — Expect rough edges; verify the capture flow works as expected in a test run before using it for a real exam
