View Copyleaks Results in Canvas as an Instructor
When students submit a Copyleaks assignment in Canvas, Copyleaks generates an originality report and similarity index that lets the instructor know how much of the assignment is original. Whether the results appear to students depends on the settings selected when setting up the Copyleaks assignment.
Note: The originality report for an initial assignment submission may take up to ten minutes to generate.
