When you import a PDF or image file containing several scanned papers one after another, Examino automatically separates them into individual papers: this is called splitting.
What happens after import
Each imported file is first split into pages.
Examino analyzes these pages to identify where each student's paper starts and ends.
A suggested split is proposed: pages are grouped into provisional papers.
This processing is automatic and starts right after upload, with no action needed on your part.
Why check the split?
Automatic splitting is a suggestion, not an absolute truth: a poorly scanned page, a double-sided paper scanned in the wrong order, or a student who turns in more or fewer pages than expected can throw off detection. That's why Examino always gives you the chance to review and correct the split before launching AI grading.
Good to know
Splitting happens per exam: each new import is processed independently.
You can import several successive batches of files for the same exam; each goes through the same automatic splitting.
Nothing gets graded until you've validated (or let through) the proposed split.
