For best results, enable Skip Intro alongside Auto Instructions to fully automate instruction activities.

storageevents that Edgenuity uses to detect multiple tabs - Allows you to have multiple Edgenuity tabs open simultaneously

Per Page Options
When using Per Page mode, you can set separate background URLs for:
