Adding extra feedback to TurnItIn Assignments in the Grade Centre

Do not open Turnitin in multiple tabs or browser windows. Only use one browser tab to interact with Turnitin.

Currently TurnItIn does not directly give you the ability to add a file to your feedback.  If you wish to add a file to your feedback a possible workaround is to use the Grade Centre.  This guide assumes that marking has already been done in GradeMark but that you wish to add an additional feedback file
