    • Go to the assignment inbox to view the similarity percentage. Click on the relevant link to access Feedback Studio.
    • Here, you will see the detected similarity score; for instance, a score of 72% detected as AI may indicate areas that need revising.
    • You can download both the AI report and the similarity report from this interface.

  7. For Students Enrolling in a Class

    • If you have a student account, you will need to obtain a class ID and enrollment key.
    • Toggle to the student account, select "join or enroll in a class," and input the necessary details to enroll.
