SafeAssign is a tool built into Blackboard. It automatically compares submitted assignments against a set of academic papers and a refined web search to identify areas of overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works. Instructors have the option to enable this on assignments or to submit a file directly.

You’ll find SafeAssign Originality Review under Instructor tools in the Books & Course Tools panel in the Details & Actions menu. This is how instructors access it for direct submit.

More information, including how to use it, is available on Blackboard's Help site.
