Primary Source Types in Turnitin Reports

Similarity Highlights vs. Cyan AI Detection Highlights
One of the most frequent points of confusion for students reading Turnitin PDFs is distinguishing between Similarity Matches and AI Detection Flags.
Numbered Color Highlights (Similarity)
- Colors: Red, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green
- Contains a small source number icon (e.g. [1], [2])
- Represents exact matching text found in external databases
Cyan Light-Blue Highlights (AI Score)
- Color: Solid Cyan / Light Blue (No numbers)
- Linked directly to Turnitin’s AI writing detector
- Represents statistical probability of ChatGPT / Claude text
Pre-Submission Checklist: Action Steps After Reviewing Your TurnproAI PDF
Before submitting your final paper to your professor, complete these 4 review steps on your TurnproAI report:
Check Unquoted Similarity Matches
Locate any numbered highlights that lack quotation marks. Either enclose them in `"..."` with an in-text citation or rewrite the sentence completely in your own words.
Review Cyan AI Highlight Blocks
If any human-written paragraphs were flagged in cyan, vary sentence lengths (mix short and long sentences) and remove overused AI transition words.
Confirm Excluded Bibliographies
Ensure your reference section begins under a standard heading ("References" or "Bibliography") so your instructor can exclude standard reference matches.
Perform Final Non-Repository Re-Scan on TurnproAI
Re-upload your updated document to turnproai.site to confirm that all flags have dropped into the safe zone (under 10-15%).
