# allowsScreenshots

A Boolean value that indicates whether to allow screenshots copied to the clipboard during an assessment.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsScreenshots: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion An assessment session disables the ability to take screenshots by default to maintain assessment integrity. This property specifically applies to screenshots that are copied to the clipboard, typically those taken using the Command+Control+Shift+3 and Command+Control+Shift+4 keyboard shortcuts. You can allow clipboard screenshots by setting allowsScreenshots to true. note: The clipboard is cleared before the assessment session ends to prevent exporting captured content.
