Why don't I see the 
icon in the Blackboard Gradebook for a student who has submitted to a Turnitin Assignment?
Due to the nature of how the Turnitin plugin works in Blackboard, grading and accessing Turnitin Assignments from the GradeCenter will not work.
You need to use the Turnitin Tool via the Course Tools menu in your Control Panel.
Why am I getting an error when trying to modify an existing Turnitin Assignment or grade a submission in an existing Turnitin Assignment?
One thing to check here is if there is a corresponding GradeCenter column for this Turnitin Assignment, and that GradeCenter column needs to have the same title as the Turnitin Assignment. If the GradeCenter column is missing or the title is different (e.g., abbreviated, etc.) this will cause the errors to occur.
Also, please note that all Turnitin Assignment grading needs to be done through the Turnitin Course Tool, not Blackboard's GradeCenter.

How do I copy Turnitin Assignments in Blackboard?
Turnitin Assignments that were created in Blackboard using the Turnitin building block 2.0.5 or higher can be copied using any of the three options that appear when you select the "Course Copy" feature in the "Course Options" area in the "Control Panel". However, if either "Copy Course Materials into a New Course" or "Copy Course Materials into an Existing Course" is chosen, you must be certain to select the content area that contains the Turnitin Assignment you would like to copy as well as the corresponding "GradeCenter Items and Settings" to ensure that the copy succeeds.
No other method of copying an assignment, including the use of the "Copy" button that appears next to the content item, is supported. Copying a Turnitin Assignment is unlikely to work with any method other than the three mentioned above.
