Prepare the App:

Start Guided Access:

  • Triple-click the Sleep/Side (or Top) button

  • Enter you Guided Access passcode when prompted

Configure Disabled Areas (Optional)

  • Select or drag over any areas of the screen you want to disable

  • Tap 'Continue' to activate Guided Access

The iPad should now be locked in the selected app and ready for use!
