Allow pop-ups in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge so Google Drive, OneDrive, and Google Classroom imports work.

How-to guide

Last reviewed: December 2022

There are a few instances while using Tuva where you’ll need to allow pop-ups to appear:

  1. While importing or refreshing data from Google Drive or One Drive
  2. While importing a Google Classroom or updating your student list from Google Classroom

The steps for both are similar, and we’ve highlighted the data refresh process below.

In this support article we’re going to go through four different web browsers and show you how to unblock pop-ups: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

After choosing to refresh your data, you’ll see the following screen if you have not allowed pop-ups. Notice the “Pop-up blocked” text near the top of the web browser.

You will need to click the pop-up blocked button that has appeared. Once you click on it, you will see the following menu appear.
