Why Can't My Student Share a Document with Me?

  1. In order for your students to successfully share a document with you, you must activate your account as a faculty or tutor. To activate your account, do one of the following options:
    1. Log into your IntelliWriter account via your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, etc.) 
    2. Follow the Self-Registration Process 

Why Can't I Comment on or Edit a Shared Document?

The document's author decides on the permission level which you will have as they share it with you*. There are three permission levels the author might have selected:

  1. Comment – – the shared to person can read your document, edit, and add their thoughts or suggestions as comments. This is the highest permission level.
  2. Write – the shared to person can read or write in your document. Writing includes adding to your writing, deleting sections, or performing other actions. 
  3. Read - the shared to person can only read your document; they cannot change your writing or interact with your document in any way. This is the lowest permission level.

*If you feel the author has provided you with the wrong permission level, ask them to change it to the proper level. As soon as they make the change, it will take effect in your account.

Why Can't I run a Cite.ai report?

Institutions that have activated the Cite.ai feature will show a "Check My Writing" button under the Cite.ai log in the Resources tab. If that button does not appear, your institution has not enabled this feature. Confirm with your institution if you should have access to Cite.ai.
