Where to find Turnitin In Canvas
In Canvas, when creating an assignment that requires Online submission, once the "File Uploads" or "Text Entry" boxes are checked, the Plagiarism Review section will appear in your options. Choose Turnitin from the dropdown box. Choose the options you prefer. The "Index all submissions" box is checked by default. That means student documents will be added to Turnitin’s database.
