I am an educator and have been using Audiotool for several different lesson plans with my middle school students ages 10-13. Unfortunately there have been a few instances lately where some students have accessed and included vocal tracks with inappropriate words/phrases. Since my computers do not allow for local software downloads, I have to use cloud based activities exclusively and Audiotool has become a great resource. Is there anyway that tracks with inappropriate words can be removed or at least filtered so certain age groups would need permission to access them? Probably too tall of an order but thought I would ask. I will probably have to look elsewhere to introduce my students to audio activities.

A suggestion could be to build a small "safe" sample library and make that available as a separate sample database for educators. I don't know how this would be integrated though.
In regards to the whole sample library: Personally I don't think there is any obvious way to do this at the moment.
To be able to filter out samples they would have to be flagged as inappropriate in the first place and it is not really a feasible solution to have someone go through all the samples, if that is what you suggest. On a side note: It might be possible to filter out some samples based on their tags and names.
If you encounter copyrighted material (with inappropriate lyrics) then you can report the samples and they will be removed, but samples which simply contain not copyrighted but inappropriate lyrics are not really seen as an issue (it depends on the severity of course).
Another option would be to disable the access to the samples e.g. by disconnecting the internet after you've entered the application. In this case you'll have trouble saving your drafts.
