Direct Submit in SafeAssign gives instructors the option of uploading student papers directly to the institutional database singly or in bulk to generate reports or to add old papers into the pool to be checked for plagiarism.
Direct Submit generates SafeAssign reports on papers submitted outside of a course assignment or can be used to check assignments after they have been submitted.
For detailed instructions on how to use Direct Submit with SafeAssign in Blackboard Learn Ultra see this article on Blackboard’s support site: Direct Submit with SafeAssign in Blackboard Learn Ultra.
