How to use Turnitin in Canvas

IMPORTANT!  Turnitin in Canvas can be used in two different ways; the full interface (Option 1), or just the plagiarism review (Option 2).  Although Turnitin shows under External Tool, it is not available. Do not use that option. Any Turnitin assignments imported from Blackboard must be re-created.
