Flags for Review

This panel lists any inconsistencies that would set it apart from a normal submission. A flag is not necessarily an indicator of a problem, but it’s a good place to focus your attention for further review.

All Sources

This panel reveals exactly what content was taken from which source. 

Filter and Settings

This panel is used to exclude certain types of content and sources. Multi-color highlighting can also be enabled here. NOTE: Be sure to click Apply Changes and New Report after altering the settings. 

Excluded Sources

This is a list of sources excluded from the similarity report, if applicable. This is determined by the settings.
