<\/p>\nTesting the integration<\/b><\/h2>\n

Troubleshooting<\/b><\/h2>\n
Tool stays Pending and never activates<\/b><\/h3>\n
Reopen the registration page in another tab and check that the URL you pasted into <\/span>Moodle<\/b> hasn’t expired. Registration URLs are single-use; generate a new one and repeat the registration step.<\/span><\/p>\n
Originality reports don’t appear in the gradebook<\/b><\/h3>\n
Confirm that Assignment and Grade Services and Names and Roles Provisioning are enabled on the tool. In <\/span>Moodle<\/b>, verify the assignment was created with PlagiarismCheck as the submission type.<\/span><\/p>\n
Students see an error when launching the tool<\/b><\/h3>\n
Ask the student to clear cookies for your LMS domain and retry. If the error persists, copy the error code from the launch screen and contact <\/span>support@plagiarismcheck.org<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
