There has been an update to the Turnitin external tool function in ICON (Canvas). This change may affect your course assignments, particularly those using Turnitin from previous semesters that have been copied into fall 2024 courses, new assignments, and Blueprint courses. All new assignments that use Turnitin as an external tool will need to be set up using the updated version.

- How-to Guides for the new Turnitin External Tool: These guides provide step-by-step instructions on how to use the updated Turnitin tool on Canvas.
