Warning
You can enable the SafeAssign Originality Report any time, even after students have started their submissions – however, submissions cannot be retroactively checked.  Submissions received before you enable the setting aren't checked with SafeAssign.

SafeAssign results are hidden while anonymous grading is enabled. After you post grades and names are shown, you can view the SafeAssign results and the Originality Reports.
