When you purchase a single Turnitin submission credit, it allows you to make 1 submission of up to 25,000 words* and includes up to 5 free revisions of that specific document.
*Note on word count: The official word count is calculated at the exact moment of submission. This system-calculated length may vary by a few percent from the word count reported by your word processing software (such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs).
How to upload a revision of your document
Uploading a revision will completely replace the existing version of your document and automatically generate a new Similarity Report.
- Log into your iThenticate account.
- Locate the specific document you want to revise from your dashboard.
- Click the blue upward arrow icon located under the Actions column.
- On the Upload Revision screen, fill in the required document information and choose the updated file from your device.
- Click the Upload button to complete the process.

⚠️ Note on revision requirements (Error -904):
To successfully upload a revision using your existing credit, the newly uploaded file must be based directly on the original document and cannot contain more than a 40% difference from the previous version.
If the text has changed by more than 40%, the system will block the upload and display Error -904. Submissions exceeding this difference threshold are treated as completely new documents and will require you to use or purchase a separate submission credit.
