This is the exam proctoring subsystem for the Open edX platform.
Proctored exams are exams with time limits that learners complete while online proctoring software monitors their computers and behavior for activity that might be evidence of cheating. This Python library provides the proctoring implementation used by Open edX.
For authoring documentation, see Including Proctored Exams In Your Course_.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Add a dropdown component.
* If the "data-enable-exam-resume-proctoring-improvements" data attribute on the element of the ProctoredExamAttemptView
Backbone is true,
* use the dropdown menu component on the Instructor Dashboard Proctored Exam Attempt panel for proctored exam attempts in the error state, providing the following options:
* Resume, which transitions the exam attempt into the ready_to_resume state.
* Reset, which behaves the same as the previous reset functionality, originally exposed via the [x] link.

ProctoredExamSoftwareSecureReviewHistory models to note if the attempt for
that review has been archived. When an attempt is archived and if it is associated
with a review, this field will be set to False
[2.5.8] - 2021-01-12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Ignore the `ProctoredExamStudentAttemptHistory` table when viewing onboarding status.
This fixes a bug where the status would return `verified` even after all attempts had
been deleted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Allow the creation of multiple exam attempts for a single user in a single exam, as long
as the most recent attempt is `ready_to_resume` or `resumed`. When an exam is resumed, the
time remaining is saved to the new attempt and is used to calculate the expiration time.
[2.5.6] - 2021-01-06
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Updated the StudentProctoredExamAttempt view's PUT handler to allow for a
new action "mark_ready_to_resume", which transitions exam attempts in the "error" state
