Instructors may follow these steps to enable SafeAssign (an automatic plagiarism scanner) for any written assignment in Blackboard.

You can only submit a SafeAssign assignment once. If you want to edit, delete, or resubmit a SafeAssign assignment, contact your instructor and request that they clear your first submission. Please note that there is a file size limit of 10MB. If your submission is larger than 10MB, SafeAssign won't be able to process it.

For students submitting a SafeAssign-enabled assignment: This article explains how you can view your submission's SafeAssign Originality report (option available only if enabled by the instructor).

DirectSubmit generates SafeAssign reports on papers not uploaded to an assignment with the SafeAssign service. You can use DirectSubmit to add papers to the institutional database. Whenever possible, Blackboard advises you to create assignments with the SafeAssign submission option selected.

When you create an assignment, you can enable the SafeAssign originality detection service. When you assign grades, you can access an originality report with pertinent information about the sources used.

The overall score is an indicator of what percentage of the submitted paper matches existing sources. This score is a warning indicator only and papers should be reviewed to see if the matches are properly attributed.

Instructors can use the SafeAssign service to check submitted assignments for originality. SafeAssign compares your submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works.
