How do I turn off Autofill in Wise Owl?

Autofill within your browser can cause performance issues for your Wise Owl Legal session.

Most commonly, Autofill can offer a menu in your browser that is not actually part of the Wise Owl system. If you choose a dropdown from an autofill menu, it will not select correctly within Wise Owl and can cause inconsistencies in the way the program runs.

We recommend that if you are using Wise Owl, you turn off your autofill.

See QuickVid below on some of the issues Autofill can cause you or go straight to the Instructions for disabling autofill here.
