Help Center: Setting Originality Report Preferences
There are several preferences that can be set when viewing Originality Reports. These preferences can be modified through the preferences link. The first preference is whether or not to view color-coded matches. When set to yes different sources in the Originality Report will be indicated by different colored text in addition to the source number. When this preference is set to no, all matching text within a paper will be colored red regardless of which source the text matches. The second preference is which mode of the Originality Report to view by default. The final preference controls how the report automatically moves to the next match. When set to scroll to the next match the system will scroll through the screen when a source number is clicked. When set to jump to the next source, the report will jump straight to the source when a source number is clicked.
