  3. Notebook gallery

    There are plenty of very old images in the image gallery in Notebook. I think It's time to delete them, as the software is excellent but feels quite old-fashioned when it comes to visuals. See examples of images when you search for computers.

  4. Ability to set the default line thickness on pens

    This is something that is requested in every edition - it was added as a SMART setting for the boards with different pens but the MX series or the 24 version of SMART notebook still does not have any user customizable settings for default pen line width. We still have to click pen, line size dropdown, smallest option, EVERY TIME we change colors. It's infuriating!

  6. Translate feature within Smart Notebook

    I teach in both French and English, and would absolutely love to be able to translate directly in Smart Notebook. Ideally, it would be possible to translate the whole file, but even one page or text selection at a time would save me a lot of work!

  7. Print full slides even with a shade!

    Notebook 22 used to allow you to print a full slide even if it had a shade on it. Now you have to remove the shade in order to get what you had under it to print.

  8. Lines (horizontal/vertical)

    Latest version (25.0).

    First of all, thank you for bringing the alignment features back! 🙏
    But why stop there? Why can't we draw perfectly horizontal/vertical lines?
    It has been reported several times:

  9. Wacom graphic pen not working anymore!

    The latest version (25.0) don't allow me to use my Wacom pen as... a pen! It's no longer compatible, so I can't use the whiteboard as such anymore...

    The same problem was reported almost 2 years ago and is still under review (https://smarttech.uservoice.com/forums/444595-smart-notebook/suggestions/47194142-wacom-pen-not-longer-compatible).

    Please, can someone fix it...?

    Update: The Wacom pen is working again! Yay! Maybe it was a problem of compatibility between versions (Smart Notebook / Wacom)? Anyway, problem solved itself, but maybe there is some checking to do, just in case... Thanks!

  11. Inserting video and image issues

    Issues inserting videos in Notebook 25 (no option above for v 25) using Pixabay - no video options load. Also, the picture suggestions are not accurate e.g. when searching for 'the water cycle' images of a bike appear.

  12. math tools

    Please include the math tools in newer versions. I don't understand why they are no longer included. The last version with math tools was 22. These tools are why I continue to use this software. It is frustrating/time consuming to have to open everything first in the new version and then using VIEW in open in the older version (with the math tools).

  14. Please Bring Back the Original Icon for a SMART Notebook File!

    For SMART Notebook 25 when I save a SMART Notebook File from SMART Notebook to my Desktop the Icon (Visual) is not a Blue Paper with White Horizontal Lines, Instead it looks like the Icon for SMART Notebook and I can't stand having multiple SMART Notebook Files that have the Same Icon as the Software Itself. So Please bring Back the Original Icon for a SMART Notebook file.

  15. it would be EXTREMELY nice if smartnotebook 24 could still play nice with mathtype like v22 did.

    In Notebook 22.0, I used to be able to drag and drop math expressions from Math Type. I'm not sure why this doesn't work anymore with version 24. I would pay money for this functionality to return if possible, as the built in equation editor is just not as robust as the one in mathtype software.

  18. Bring back one-dimensional stretching of images

    Until the latest update, it was possible to stretch images in SMART Notebook horizontally or vertically only, but this ability disappeared in the new version. I've used horizontal image stretching for years, to illustrate how the unique tissue which lines the urinary bladder distorts without tearing as the bladder distends and empties in my A&P I lectures. I'm sure that one-dimensional stretching has applications for other courses' visual demonstrations too. Any chance that such a one-way-only resizing option can be restored? Losing it kind of spoiled one of my best tricks with my Anatomy I displays.

  20. Fix the problems

    Dear Support Team,

    I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the latest version of Smart Notebook, which has been causing significant disruptions in my workflow. After using the software for six years, I have never encountered such persistent issues, and I am now reconsidering whether to continue my subscription.

    Here is a list of the major problems I’ve encountered:

    • The software crashes at least twice per hour, making it highly unreliable.
    • It offers to restore lost data after a crash, but this function does not work as promised.
    • The handling of tables is terrible, with constant glitches that…
