In Blackboard Learn Original Course View, you can suggest to SafeAssign additional webpages and websites that haven't been flagged or referenced in Originality Reports with the URL Adder tool. When you reduce the width of the viewing area, this information appears at the top. SafeAssign detects a match, but you can't open the source to compare matches because the source has been deleted. A "non-existent paper" is listed as a source in the Originality Report in this case. When a student's submission is deleted from a course, the content remains in the database and can be used to detect future matches for other student submissions. If Another student's paper is listed as a citation, the submission is associated with another institution and you may not be able to view it due to privacy laws. You can also select Open match source to visit the matching source text in a new window. Next to the source, you can select Highlight match to toggle highlighting. For each source, a number appears which corresponds with the highlighted text in the submission. Select the source type to learn more about the match.
