- Your data is secure - As long as you are logged into your SSD Google account, you can safely upload student documents. Your district's data agreements protect student information.
- Upload clear documents - Ensure PDFs are readable and not password-protected for best extraction
- Review carefully - AI can make mistakes; always verify data accuracy against source documents
- One section at a time - For complex cases, generate and review sections individually
