SafeAssign promises a 24 hour turn around. We have experienced faster times. In
our test, average submissions of less than 25 pages have returned in less than 3 hours. The time it will take to analyze a document depends on its
length and complexity.
SafeAssign will accept the following file formats: .zip, .docx, .doc, .text, .pfd, .art and .html.
A .zip file can only contain one or more of the other formats.
