I've just upgraded Numbas version to 3.1 as we want to use the safe browser for the test. As per the instructions, I've added NUMBAS_LOCKDOWN_APP_PASSWORD config in to the settings.env. 

As per the https://numbas-lti-provider.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/lockdown-apps.html#adding-a-safe-exam-browser-settings-file I should see "Manage SEB settings files link on LTI Provider but I can't find any such link. There is nothing under the 'Admin options' either. Has anyone used this Safe Exam Browser feature? if so, how did you configure yours? do we need to add any additional settings file in order to get this option? I've gone through the Numbas documentation and git repo but can't find any details.

Hi Dev,
The SEB and lockdown browser features are only available in v3.2. If you only upgraded to v3.1, you'll need to upgrade again.

The SEB settings file is made by Safe Exam Browser. The Numbas LTI documentation on this links to the corresponding page in the Safe Exam Browser documentation about how to create a settings file.

Thanks Christian did you mean follow the same upgrade steps i.e. git pull followed by container builds? if so, I thought the first attempt would've brought the latest container images for v3.2. I also can't see any branch on git for v3.2. Would you please clarify if I have to pull a specific branch?

Oh! Now I look, I see I never committed the v3.2 changes to the Docker repository. I've done that now. Sorry for the confusion!
