Connect for Windows 4.0 Release Notes

Improvements

• Our latest update includes support for Companion Mode. Companion Mode is a new filter mode for Windows only, leveraging browser extensions (Chrome and Edge) for filtering and classroom management. Contact Linewize Support to enable this feature.
• We’ve added WEB mode support for the DNS exclusion list.
• We’ve made changes so that the agent can support Windows 11 SE when our agent is published to the Microsoft store.
• We’ve improved Classwize Focus on multiple URLs.
• We improved the Windows Connect agent uninstall process so that the previous user does not persist.
