How can a teacher access extra content for one lesson without changing the filter?

Teachers often ask for an override when a class needs something unusual: a specific app, the browser for twenty minutes, a video platform for one hour. Changing the filter for that is blunt and risky, because the filter belongs to the group for the whole term.

Skie separates the two. The filter stays as set. What changes is the app set. Extra apps for one lesson can be applied to a whole class in one step, with a window that has a start and an end, and the first matching window wins. When the window ends, the group goes back to its normal list.

The role matters. A class admin or teacher can be given the page access needed to do this for their own class, while the organisation admin controls filters and policies. Page access is switched per role, so you decide who can do what.

Limits worth stating: the lesson window changes apps, not websites. If the site needed is blocked by the filter, that is a report to support, not an override. And per-website allow lists are not available yet.

Practical tip: agree a simple request routine in advance, such as a message to the class admin the day before. Teachers who plan a lesson around a new app should expect to ask early, and the admin can check the app has been reviewed and is in the organisation's store.
