# 4.1 Logging out of the IDEALS Portal

If you have finished using the IDEALS system, you can log out from both the IDEALS Portal and EdConnect from the Gateway Page.

Click the **"Logout IDEALS Portal and EdConnect" button** to sign out of the portal and end your EdConnect single-sign-on session. After logging out you will be redirected to the IDEALS Portal Home page.

For added security, we recommend closing your browser window after logging out, especially when using a shared or public computer.
