14 Sept 2022: Warning when instructors grade an assignment early while resubmissions are enabled. This update is available for Instructor roles in Turnitin.

When Turnitin assignments are set up to allow for resubmissions and an instructor grades submissions prior to the due date, any further resubmissions will delete existing feedback and grades from the Turnitin Feedback Studio.

A warning pop-up has been added to inform instructors of this behavior when attempting to grade an assignment with resubmissions enabled.

 

23 Sept 2023: Improvements to the paper deletion process. This update is available for Instructor roles in Turnitin.

Previously, when a paper has been permanently deleted, the notification did not provide updated information. Instructors will now receive new notification text with detailed information about the status of the deletion request.

 

05 Oct 2023: Administrators will now receive a weekly wrap-up email for Paper Deletion requests. This update is available for Instructor roles in Turnitin.

Email requests for paper deletions will now be sent once a week rather than separate emails. It will contain both the total number of pending requests and the number of new requests that have been added to the total since the last email.
