For the Turnitin update, does it apply only to LTI 1.3? What about the Plagiarism Framework?

Hi @InstContentTeam - So glad to have the Diff Tag filter in the gradebook! I had been wondering if was possible to simply *display* the tags in the gradebook: still see all the students, but be able to see what tags they have.

I did actually find a way to do this: when you click on the Options menu at the top of the Student Name column in gradebook, there is a drop-down menu. If you Select "Secondary Info," you can toggle which additional info will be displayed below the students' names (Canvas guide: How do I sort and display student data in the Gradebook?).

If you choose "Group" from this list, then it will display any Groups that the student is in AND any diff tags. This is something, but it bugs me because it further muddies the waters between Groups and Diff Tags. It would be great if those could be unlinked.
