Turnitin is integrated with Canvas. There are two ways for teachers to enable Turnitin plagiarism checking in a Canvas assignment: Using Turnitin as an external tool (LTI) or a plagiarism framework.
Turnitin as an external tool
Teachers can choose Turnitin as an external tool in the submission type. Originality check (similarity reports) will be available after students submitted their assignments. Teachers will also have access to the Turnitin online grading tools.

Turnitin as a plagiarism framework
You can also enable a light version of Turnitin in a Canvas assignment – Plagiarism review. Turnitin will check originality and provide similarity reports. But the Turnitin online grading tools, e.g., GradeMark or QuickMarks, are not available with this option.
