Import and Exporting Comment Libraries
AP supports importing plain CSV files and also Turnitin QuickMark™ Sets.
You can also easily export your comment libraries – to back them up, use them in other places. Uploading publisher intellectual property (including 11trees’ proprietary libraries like College Edition) is a violation of our terms of service. Using AP’s import/export feature to share libraries with other users is a violation of our terms and conditions. Consider a Team or Institution license to facilitate sharing and automating updates to your libraries.

- The file has a “csv” extension.
- There are four (4) columns with the following headings:
