Setting up and Using Guided Access
Guided Access® helps the user stay focused on a task by dedicating the iPad Pro to a single app and
allowing you to control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to: Temporarily restrict the
iPad Pro to a particular app; disable areas of the screen that do not apply to a task, or areas in which an
accidental gesture might be distracting; limit how long the user can use an app; or disable iPad Pro
device buttons.
