❗ "Please wait while Google processes your copy"
Appears on a student's rubric assessment when the Google Doc copy has not appeared yet.
✅ This is a message Google generates and displays in Otus when it is still making a copy of the document for the student. This message will appear if the student opens the Rubric Assessment before Google has had enough time to make all of the copies. Have the student log out, wait a few minutes, then log back in again to check if their copy has appeared. If after a significant amount of time the documents still have not generated, please reach out to the Otus Support Team in the chat feature, and we'll be happy to help.
💡 Tip from the Otus Team: The process for Google to make a copy made for each student can take up to 10 minutes. If you are seeing a longer delay, please reach out to the support team, and we can help!
