Sean Wilkins (ID: 000000d1395fbfb5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/02/2022 Is it possible to change the input from the Google Admin Console? Would like to be able to push this out to all student Chromebooks at once without having to manually change at each device. When I am in the Admin Console, I am able to add Olelo Hawaiian as a language after adding the extension, but when I search in inputs, Hawaiian still does not show up. If not possible from admin console, no worries. Just though I would ask. Mahalo.
