Improved Side-by-Side View
We have revised and improved the side-by-side comparison of texts: From now on, the side-by-side view will highlight exact matches using a bold font. This will give you an even better idea of how the text was revised. Hence, the your assessment whether the tested text is actually plagiarized or not is greatly simplified.

Plagiarism Search Based on the Text Signature
We are improving data protection at PlagAware: From now on you can specify whether the entire full text should be saved in your library - or only the signature of the text. The signature represents a highly compressed and encrypted form of the text content. You can use this to identify plagiarism of texts without having to save the text to PlagAware.

Preserve Text Format During Plagiarism Scan
To make it easier for you to navigate the results report, we have revised our algorithms for normalizing the test text. Thus, section and page breaks will be preserved as far as possible. In the view settings you can decide whether the text (as before) should be displayed as a continuous section or in the original format.

New User Interface and Features for a Better Plagiarism Check
We are pleased to announce a completely revised user interface and numerous new improvements for an even more precise and meaningful plagiarism check. Over a period of almost a year, we have collected your feedback and incorporated your wishes into the redesign. On Sunday, February 22nd at 10am CET the time has come: PlagAware starts in a fresh design. Of course, all of your checks and settings are retained in full.

Resetting a Plagiarism Check
PlagAware allows you to rate detected sources. You might for example annotate that a source was cited correctly and should not be included in the overall assessment. Feeling you got lost? Restoring the initial state of your plagiarism check is only two clicks away: Try out the option "reset plagiarism check". You will find this option in the detail view of the plagiarism check in the tab "Revision".

Text comparison and plagiarism search in own texts
The reliable comparison of two or more texts is a fundamental task in the plagiarism assessment of documents. But there are areas of application that require a text comparison also outside of such an investigation. With PlagAware you can therefore compare several texts with each other without plagiarism analysis.
