When students submit a Copyleaks assignment in Canvas, Copyleaks generates a similarity score and report that lets the instructor know how much of the assignment is original. By default, students are also able to see this same report. (Note: The similarity score and report for an initial assignment submission may take several minutes to generate.)

View Report from the SpeedGrader
To view the Copyleaks report from the assignment SpeedGrader, follow the steps below.
1 Navigate to the completed assignment.

4 Review the report.
View Report from the Gradebook
Viewing the Copyleaks report from the Gradebook is very similar to viewing it through the completed assignment. Because this tool is integrated into the SpeedGrader of Canvas, you will have to navigate there to be able to see the report for each student.
1 Navigate to Grades
2 Locate the column of the completed assignment.
You will see that the submissions will be accompanied with a colored bubble, which indicates that the Copyleaks report is available for the assignment.
3 Click on the colored icon in the cell. The colors represent a range of percentages for the originality report.
4 Click the arrow that appears.
5 Select SpeedGrader
6 Click on the colored bubble that contains a percentage.
Viewing Matching Sources and AI content in the Copyleaks Report
The student's submission appears in the Copyleaks report with highlights on the text that matches items in Copyleaks' database. To view the list of matching sources, see the Results panel to the right. To see which source a text matches, click the highlighted text, and the sources will automatically filter. Click the AI Content tab to view potential AI generated content matches.
Note: When students submit papers, they are required to check a box that confirms that the work they submit is original and does not violate the academic integrity policy.
