Abstract:	This chapter describes document features, properties and metadata that can occur in contract-cheated assignments submitted by students. This is based on the author’s experience as an Academic Integrity Officer at the University of Northampton, UK, since 2012, plus invaluable discussions with colleagues at the university and elsewhere. The material is divided into three sections. First, presentation, i.e. assignment features that are apparent when reading a document. Second, document properties, i.e. features not immediately apparent upon reading but which are readily inspected using document software’s built-in functionality. Third, provenance, i.e. embedded information in the document that requires investigation more deeply than using document software’s built-in functionality, but which does not require specialist tools.
