# Waivers {% embed url="" %} ## Overview Waivers allow instructors to present written information to students within the Breakroom platform, and gather student consent or feedback based on context. Waivers can be used for content disclosures, copyright information, touchpoints, etc. This page discusses the creation and management of waivers on the backend via Dashboard. For more information about administering and reviewing waivers in the Breakroom for Training environment, please see our [Instructor orientation](https://docs.breakroom.tech/breakroom-for-training/instructor-orientation). ## Creating waivers
