If your teacher turns on originality reports for an assignment, you can use the reports to identify uncited content and unintentional plagiarism before you turn in your work. The reports compare your Google Docs, Google Slides, and Microsoft Word files against webpages and books on the internet.
Your teacher can’t see the reports that you run. After you turn in your work, Classroom automatically runs a report that only your teacher can see. If you unsubmit and resubmit a file, Classroom runs another originality report for the teacher. If your administrator has enabled school matches, your teacher's report will also check against previous student submissions from your school or district. In addition, your work is copied to the school matches corpus, so that it can be compared to other students' work, when all of the following is true:
- School matches are enabled for the domain
- Originality reports are enabled for the assignment
- The file type is supported
