Enable Copy-Paste Tracking in Assessments

Copy-Paste Tracking monitors candidates' copy-paste behavior during assessments on coding, long answer, and short answer questions. It promotes assessment integrity by ensuring candidates work independently.

Note: This feature is available on Desktop and Laptop devices only.

Before you begin

  • You need edit access to the assessment you want to configure.
  • Decide whether you want to automatically terminate candidates who exceed a violation limit.

How to enable Copy-Paste Tracking

  1. Open the assessment you want to configure.
  2. In the left-side menu, go to Settings → Proctoring.
  3. Find the Copy/Paste Tracking option and check the box to enable it.

How to set automatic termination on violation (optional)

  1. Under Copy/Paste Tracking, check Terminate in case of violation.
  2. Enter a Violation Limit (for example, 5).
  3. Click Save to apply your settings.

Tip: A violation limit of 3–5 allows for minor accidental pastes while still flagging deliberate misuse.

How to review Copy-Paste violations

After a candidate submits the assessment:

  1. Open the candidate's Candidate Profile.
  2. Scroll to the Trust Insights section.
  3. Review the log of recorded copy-paste violations.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a candidate copies text once?
The action is logged as a violation. If Terminate in case of violation is enabled, the candidate is automatically disqualified once the violation limit is exceeded.

Can I track copy-paste activity without automatic termination?
Yes. Enable Copy/Paste Tracking without checking Terminate in case of violation. Violations are logged but no automatic action is taken.

Is this feature available on mobile?
No. Copy-Paste Tracking works on Desktop and Laptop devices only.

Which question types are tracked?
Only coding, long answer, and short answer questions. Multiple-choice questions are not tracked.

Can I set a custom violation limit?
Yes. Enter any number in the Violation Limit field. Candidates who exceed this limit are terminated automatically.
