Publisher tools (e.g., McGraw-Hill, Pearson) will be set up in Brightspace. Some tools are available under Existing Activities, some under Existing Activities and then External Learning Tools. See below for links to vendor documentation on working in Brightspace (D2L*) with these tools. 

*Brightspace is also called D2L (Desire2Learn), so you might see D2L instead of Brightspace in vendor documentation. Also, in Brightspace, we use the Classic Content, not New Content/Lessons, experience.
 
Note: Some publishers partner with companies that provide proctoring services. The only Lockdown Browser that exists in Brightspace is Respondus Lockdown Browser.
