(Why are the dates shown as the imported dates vary?)

• Due to the volume of data that needs to be moved, 2 exports/imports for Vericite, (and Ephorus) were done. 1st was all data for all accounts and then a 2nd migration on an agreed date with the customer when they move.

Outcome:

Users can expect a better understanding of how Turnitin works.
