Excluded Sources

This is done from the Turnitin Feedback Studio. For instructions on how to get here, see Access Similarity Reports.

1. To exclude sources from the similarity report using the Match Overview side panel, click the red numerical similarity score from the similarity toolbar. If the similarity layer was inactive, it will now be activated, highlighting all on-paper matches.
