Turn Chrome Cursive on or off for users

As an administrator, you can control who uses Chrome Cursive when signed in to a managed Chrome device. With Chrome Cursive, you and your users can take and edit handwritten notes on a touchscreen Chromebook that works with a stylus. Just turn the service on or off for users in your Admin console.

When you set the service to On, notes are synced to users’ accounts allowing users to access them on any device when the user is signed in.

When you set the service to Off, users can still use Chrome Cursive but they can’t sync their notes to their account and can’t access them from different devices. In this case, notes are stored locally on the device and are not sent to Google.

For information on setting access policies to Chrome apps or extensions, go to View and configure apps and extensions .
