New Update is a major downgrade

Hi. I'm a student who uses Turnitin on a regular basis, and this update has left me incredibly displeased. My biggest complaint is the total lack of any external way to tell the status of an assignment. Previously, there would be a big button that says "submitted", but currently users must click into an assignment in order to check its status. Additionally, the new system for importing files from google drive seems noticeably worse than previous versions. Less than a day in and I have already had files which Turnitin fails to see in my google drive, and does not allow me to select.

More than this, I am incredibly disappointed that Turnitin seems to have paid no mind to which aspects of its website users actually thought needed improvement, and changed things which were already functioning well.

I hope whoever sees this will consider what I have to say. Turnitin is a fantastic tool for preserving academic integrity, and I truly hope it remains that way.

Thank you.

    I agree with the previous poster; many of my students have issues with getting papers from Chrome to upload. As an instructor, I really dislike the fact I can only view 3 students in the assignment inbox page; that is very inconvenient. The changes have only made it harder for me and my students.
