This guide explains how to create folders and set submission storage preferences for your documents.
In this guide:
Add a new folder
You can easily identify folders by their respective icon.
- Select My Files from the sidebar.
-
Select Add Folder.
-
Enter a unique name for the folder.
You cannot create a folder with the same name as an existing folder on the same level.
-
Select the Add button to create the folder.
Configure folder-level submission storage
If enabled by your organization, instructors can choose whether submissions in a folder are added to Turnitin's repository. Stored submissions are used to check for similarities in future work.
If your account administrator has enabled this setting, you can use a toggle to choose whether submissions are stored in the Turnitin repository. The toggle appears when creating a new folder and editing an existing one.
The option will only appear if it has been enabled by your account administrator.
When editing a folder, previous submissions will respect the storage option chosen at the time they were submitted. If you require a file to be stored, submit it again to Turnitin.
