# Overview

SafeAssign is a tool used in Blackboard that detects unoriginal text on submitted assignments. SafeAssign produces a report and score from 0% to 100% based on amount of unoriginal material  in the submission. The report shows the source of the unoriginal text and previews a comparison between the source and the submitted work.
