What does a cheat detection alert mean?

Character Replacement, Invisible Text Alerts & AI Content Alerts

A Cheat Detection Alert will appear in the similarity report when a scan has detected an abnormality in a submitted document. These abnormalities are usually present due to a student's efforts to cheat or "fool" a plagiarism scan. The four forms of cheating that our scans can detect are called Character Replacement, Invisible Text, Major Text Exclusion & AI Content.
