  Papers will be removed from view, but NOT deleted from Turnitin. Papers will still appear in Similarity matches. Before removing a paper from the inbox, please ensure the paper has been deleted from Turnitin Database and capture the submission details (including Paper ID).
• Requesting a permanent deletion
  A request will be sent to the Blackboard Administrator for handling.
