CodeHS Pro allows teachers to prevent students from copying and pasting in the Code Editor. When Copy/Paste Prevention is enabled, students enrolled in that section can no longer Copy, Paste, or Cut to and from the Editor. Although, students will still be able to copy their own code from previous assignments with Copy/Paste prevention turned on.
Copy/Paste Prevention can be enabled for an entire section, per student, or for a single assignment. It can also be applied to students' Sandbox.
Teachers can also allow students to copy and paste only within the CodeHS editor, preventing them from bringing in external content.
