Turnitin

You can set Turnitin to accept any file type in Settings > Optional Settings.

However, please be aware the different file types have limitations with Turnitin functionality. 

For example, Excel files are able to be uploaded, but Turnitin only compares visible text. It does not look at formulas or hidden columns, and will likely not display properly in Feedback Studio when you go to mark it. Excel files must be made using Microsoft Excel and not a third party program that has the ability to save in the. XLSX format. Libre Office, Open Office, and more are not compatible with Turnitin and will not be accepted.  

Turnitin is a plagiarism tool that makes text matches from other documents in the repository of papers, but it does have some limitations of what it will make matches with.
