Similarity report missing matches
I am getting a 0% score for similarity reports in turnitin studio (once I exclude a 100% match to a previous submission of the same file through teams) for content which I know has matches as I have already submitted it to teams using the turnitin plug-in which it highlighted a similarity of 19%. Why are the matches not showing in the studio? I have not set any exclusions in settings and the files are word docs so a supported file type.

Hi there,
A 0% similarity score means Turnitin didn’t find any text matches in its enabled search sources for that specific submission. Turnitin only flags text that meets a minimum number of words or matches a sentence/paragraph structure. For more information, please visit our guide: Why is the Turnitin Similarity Report score 0%?
