Your Turnitin guidance is moving!
We’re migrating our content to a new guides site. We plan to fully launch this new site in July. We are making changes to our structure that will help with discoverability and content searching. You can preview the new site now. To help you get up to speed with the new guidance structure, please visit our orientation page .
QuickMarks enable you to create and employ a library of feedback that might be applicable on multiple occasions, to multiple students, across multiple classes and assignments.

- To add a QuickMark to a selection of text, highlight the section of text you would like to associate the QuickMark with and click the QuickMark icon from the in-context marking tool.
The highlight color of your selected text can be changed by selecting the color square in the top right corner of the QuickMark box.

- Clicking the set title at the top of the QuickMark box will reveal a dropdown list that allows you to change the active set of marks. You can also use the search box to find a specific QuickMark.

A comment left alongside a QuickMark is identifiable by a speech bubble alongside the QuickMark title.

The search will look at both the title and the body of the QuickMark
- Once you've found a QuickMark that you'd like to use on the paper, simply drag and drop it onto the relevant part of the paper.
