Updated onArticleTurnitin.com's Quick Submit feature allows instructors to submit papers or discussion posts and receive a Similarity Report without creating a class or an assignment. This is ideal for spot-checking submissions, but it should not be used if you already have students submit their work to Turnitin, or if you have plans to use other Feedback Studio features such as Peer Review or GradeMark.
