How do I locate where a ‘match’ is found?

By default, the Similarity Report opens in Match Overview mode. In some cases, matches to smaller areas of similarity may be obscured by larger matches and are not shown in this view mode.

  1. To find the underlying sources, hover over the ‘match’ and click on the arrow icon that appears.

  2. In this mode, all sources that are obscured by the selected top source are listed below the top source. Click on a source to display the highlights for the match. The highlight for the top source match will become lighter, and the match to the selected underlying source will be displayed with a darker highlight.

  3. To return to the Match Overview mode, click on the back arrow next to Match Breakdown at the top of the sidebar.
  4. To view all the matches to one source, click on the name of the match.
