# How to reset all tabs viewed by the student during the classroom session in Teacher Assist

Need to reset student tabs in Teacher Assist during a classroom session?

As a teacher, you can easily reset all browsing tabs for your students during the classroom session in [**Teacher Assist**](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/teacher-assist-overview/) and leave the default search page such as google.com or another default page, configured in Chrome.

### Reset all students' tabs globally

To reset all open student tabs and windows, go to the **Session Tools** button and select **Close All Browsing Tabs** from the pop-up menu.

Before resetting tabs, students have multiple tabs open, and some may even have multiple windows (desktop) open:

When selecting the **Close All Browsing Tabs** option globally, the following message will appear: ***"Do you want to close all browsing tabs for all students?".***

Confirmation is required so the setting will take effect on all students' Chrome browsers.

After resetting the tabs, all students opened tabs and windows will be closed leaving just one open tab with the default Chrome search engine, such as google.com.
