General Troubleshooting Tips

At times, you may not be able to access Copyleaks. Errors include “Bad page request” or “Unauthorized Access”. The following are a few steps that may help resolve the issue(s).

In general, we recommend the following:

  1. Keep your browser up to date. Not only could this prevent a web-page from being viewed properly, it is a good cybersecurity task.

  2. Clear your browser history. Bad cookies can prevent a web-page from loading properly. This is also good for general browser maintenance, particularly if you notice your browser is slow loading certain pages.

  3. Disable and/or remove plugins. If you have installed plugins or extensions to your browser, try turning them off or removing them one by one to see which one may be messing with Copyleaks. Also, if you have an ad-blocker, ensure that you have set https://d2l.canisius.edu domain as a “safe” URL (steps on how to do that may vary depending on the ad-blocker. See their specific website for more details).

    1. Starting a Incognito or In Private browsing session may also be useful.

  4. Try accessing Copyleaks from a second browser. While they recommend Google Chrome, sometimes Google may update Chrome which “breaks” the Copyleaks webpage. Copyleaks is compatible with a wide variety of browsers, though we have found that FireFox tends to work most often.

  5. If none of the above works, try accessing Copyleaks from a different computer. We recommend the computers in the Library, as they are typically up-to-date and have no extensions on any of the browsers. This really is just a troubleshooting step-- it does not necessarily mean that anything is wrong with your computer. Simply that something on your computer is interfering with Copyleaks for some reason.

  6. See below for Copyleaks’s recommendation.

Copyleaks Recommendations

Copyleaks is compatible with a handful of browsers, including Google Chrome (recommended), Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc. Echoing the above tips, they recommend clearing your cache and ensuring that the browser is up-to-date. They also recommend ensuring that cross-site tracking cookies are enabled for at least Copyleaks, the steps for which they have available on their Troubleshooting and Browser Compatibility Web Page.

Troubleshooting the Copyleaks EULA

If our instructor has sent us an email informing us that we must accept the Copyleaks End User License Agreement (EULA) even though we have submitted our assignment to the Dropbox already, we can do so quickly. Here is how:

1

Go to the Dropbox we need to re-submit to.

Then, make sure to click on the Copyleaks-Tools-Deployment

2

This will open up a new tab, with links to Copyleaks’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We recommend carefully reviewing both.

To accept, click on the checkbox to the left of “I Agree to Copyleaks’s Terms of Use and privacy policy”.

Then, click on Finish.

When we do, the tab will automatically close. From there, we can re-upload our submission by clicking on Add a File. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your file.

Then, click on Submit in the lower-left.
