Starting in **Windows 11 SE, version 22H2**, *Stickers* is a feature that allows students to decorate their desktop with digital stickers. Students can choose from over 500 cheerful, education-friendly digital stickers. Stickers can be arranged, resized, and customized on top of the desktop background. Each student's stickers remain, even when the background changes.
Similar to the [education theme packs](edu-themes.md), Stickers is a personalization feature that helps the device feel like it was designed for students.

Starting in Windows 11 SE, version 22H2 and Windows 11 Pro Edu/Education, version 22H2 with [KB5022913][KB-1], you can enable your users to sign-in using a federated identity provider (IdP) via a web sign-in experience.
Signing in with a federated identity can be a great way to simplify the sign-in process for your users: instead of having to remember a username and password defined in Microsoft Entra ID, they can sign-in using their existing credentials from the IdP. For example, students and educators can use QR code badges to sign-in.

Take a Test is an application that locks down a device and displays an online assessment web page.
Whether you're a teacher or IT administrator, you can configure Take a Test to meet your testing needs. For high-stakes tests, the app creates a browser-based, locked-down environment. This environment means that students taking the tests that don't have copy/paste privileges, can't access to files and applications, and are free from distractions. For simple tests and quizzes, Take a Test can be configured to use the teacher's preferred assessment website to deliver digital assessments.

# Take tests and assessments in Windows

Many schools use online testing for formative and summation assessments. It's critical that students use a secure browser that prevents them from using other computer or Internet resources during the test. To help schools with testing, Windows provides an application called **Take a Test**. The application is a secure browser that provides different features to help with testing, and can be configured to only allow access a specific URL or a list of URLs. When using Take a Test, students can't:
- Print, use screen capture, or text suggestions (unless enabled by the teacher or administrator)
