# Monitor blocked or allowed URL’s during class with Teacher Assist’s Site Control History

As an educator, ensuring compliance with digital rules and URL policies during class is essential.**Teacher Assist's Site Access Control History** feature provides a simple yet powerful way to monitor and review website access during your sessions.

This feature helps to determine if any teachers in the class were not breaking school/organizational rules or policies.

When the teacher adds or removes a URL rule in the Site Control section of Teacher Assist during the session (allow or block rule), these historical logs are displayed in the **Site Access Control History** section and **kept for 30 days**.

When the session is running, the teacher can apply the rule directly through the **Site Control** option**(2)** found under **Session tools** **(1)**:

Required URL can be added and Allowed OR Blocked by the teacher (1-2):

The historical log of those rules applied during the session is presented in **Classroom Insights**.

## **Site Access Control History access via the Course card**

Once the session is over, the teacher or educational administrator can review those rules that are presented under the **Site Access Control History** tab.

To do so, the tutor of the class or administrator of the educational domain can navigate to the Classroom Insights section by clicking the adequate button on the Classroom card:
