The Add Units menu allows educators to perform specific actions within the platform, such as creating subjects and assignments, adding new student users, and uploading documents for originality-checking.

| Translation Similarity | Enable to check against sources in other languages for potential similarity. You can select up to 3 languages. |

| AI Prediction | Enable to check for content potentially generated by artificial intelligence. |
| Metadata Analysis | Enable to check document metadata for potential issues. |
| Document Archive | Enable to archive received assignment submissions. Archived submissions are referenced in future checks to prevent potential student collusion. |

| Resubmissions | Enable to allow assignment resubmissions. Configure the amount of times a student can resubmit an assignment. |
| Excluded Source Criteria | Define the threshold percentage for excluding matching sources from the Originality Report. For example, setting the percentage to 5% will automatically exclude any sources with a match percentage below 5%. |
