As of my last update in September 2021, SafeAssign is a plagiarism detection tool commonly used within Blackboard Learn, an online learning management system used by many educational institutions. SafeAssign helps educators and students ensure the originality of submitted assignments. Here’s a general overview of how you might use SafeAssign to check a 1000-word document for potential plagiarism:

Using SafeAssign for Plagiarism Checking:

1. Access Blackboard Learn: Log in to your institution’s Blackboard Learn platform. SafeAssign is often integrated into this system.
2. Navigate to the Assignment: Find the assignment where students have submitted their work. Open the assignment area.
3. View Submissions: Access the submissions for the assignment to see the list of student papers.
4. Check for Originality: Next to each student’s submission, there should be an option to check the originality using SafeAssign. Click on this option for the relevant student.
5. Review the Originality Report: SafeAssign will generate an Originality Report that highlights similarities between the student’s submission and existing sources. The report will show a similarity percentage and indicate where matched content is located.
6. Evaluate the Similarities: Carefully review the highlighted sections in the report. Some similarities might be innocuous, while others might indicate potential plagiarism.
7. Address and Document Findings: If you find potential instances of plagiarism, follow your institution’s guidelines for addressing plagiarism. This might involve discussing the findings with the student, offering guidance on proper citation, or taking appropriate actions based on your institution’s policies.
8. Communicate with Students: If you identify issues, communicate with the students about the report’s findings and any necessary actions.

Remember that the process might vary based on your institution’s specific implementation of Blackboard Learn and SafeAssign. Always refer to your institution’s guidelines and policies for using SafeAssign effectively and ethically. Additionally, since my last update, there may have been updates or changes to the features and user interface of SafeAssign.
