5. Does SAFARI Montage work on a district level?

6. How will upgrades to the SAFARI Montage software/ interface be handled?
The local administrator of your SAFARI Montage server decides during the setup whether they would like
auto-updates or manual updates. If the administrator selects auto-updates, the SAFARI Montage server will
check every evening for updates and if one exists, the server will update itself. Otherwise, manual
updates will only run once the administrator manually starts the process. Upgrades will be sent over
the Internet or via direct installation.

Teachers can create lessons at home, upload original video content for parents to watch and share streaming video from school plays, school board meetings,
football games and more.

videos, images and audio through SAFARI Montage CreationStation™.
