Original: Submit content for processing
- On the Control Panel, expand the Course Tools section and select SafeAssign.
- Select DirectSubmit. A list of folders and papers appears. This list includes content already uploaded through DirectSubmit. We recommend not deleting files from DirectSubmit because this deletes them from the institutional database of existing materials.
- Navigate to a folder where you want to upload the paper or ZIP file.
- Select Submit a Paper.
If you receive an error that you aren't logged in, check your browser settings. Your browser settings should allow third party cookies and website data.
- Select Upload File and browse for a file. Or, select Copy/Paste Document and add the content's text in the box.
- Select the upload options:
- Submit as Draft: SafeAssign reports are generated, but the content isn't added to the institutional database and isn't used to check other submissions.
- Skip Plagiarism Checking: Adds content to the institutional database without checking for content copied from other sources. Use this option to upload materials from an earlier course to ensure that current students aren't reusing work.
- Select Submit.
Original: View SafeAssign submissions in shared and private folders
In Original view, DirectSubmit shared folders are viewable by anyone with access to the DirectSubmit tool through your course. With shared folders, multiple instructors and teaching assistants can view submissions related to a course.
You can also use private folders to manage submitted content. Your private folders follow you and are available in any course where you have instructor-level privileges.
