    Hi Lori (and others who want to chime in )

    I'm trying to get a better sense of how you're using Transparent Background in the manner you describe here. Is the same thing achievable with the transparent acetate feature in SMART Ink? If you're outside of Notebook and your computer is connected to your panel, touching the pen to the screen should automatically start the acetate process. Can you expand on how you're using it to help us implement a solution that works for you?

  3. The zoom feature in SMART Notebook is currently quite unintuitive and difficult to use in the classroom.

    Default Zoom Level: The default zoom setting is at 230%, which is intended to fill a SMART Board screen. However, this level limits the zoom range, as the maximum zoom is only 300%, meaning you can only magnify content an additional 30%. This limited zoom range doesn’t offer the flexibility needed in a classroom setting, where a larger range would be more helpful. For comparison, a useful magnification tool would allow zooming in and out with larger, practical increments—similar to how a microscope…

  4. Please can you create a text box function? It's 2024 (almost 2025) and Notebook still doesn't have a working textbox function.

    Please make a text box function, where you can align the text in different places inside the box and be able to format colours of both the text and the box.

    Without this feature, it is painfully slow and arduous to make a text box, as you have to make a box, then some text and finally group them together.

  5. When exporting a Notebook file to PDF in Notebook 23, it only gives option to name the file... no options anymore. PLEASE bring back the intermediate options window which allowed editing which pages to convert, titles, date, page orientation, etc.

    In Notebook 22 and earlier, the "Export PDF" actually opened a Printer window. Because of that, we moved the print functionality to the Print menu option. Export turned into a pure "turn this file into a PDF" without the ability to target specific pages. We've received a LOT of feedback about losing that feature, but I suspect users don't know that they can still do it under Print. I want to make sure that the functionality under Print meets teachers' needs. Would anyone be willing to try the Print option in Notebook 23 and confirm whether it performs how you want?

  6. In previous versions, when you used infinite cloner on an object, the object would automatically be locked. This was incredibly useful when creating patterns with students. They could pull the object being cloned and then I could clear the page without losing the object doing the cloning. While infinite cloner is available in N24 as soon as you clear the board, you lose the object you had doing the infinite cloning.

  7. When not set to zoom to page width, and when you write in the workspace, you sometimes get ghose writing in the margin. This attached file shows the issue.

  8. We would like an actual square root symbol with the top line attached. Currently we only have the front "check" part.

  9. J'aimerais avoir un icone dans SMART Notebook qui me permet d'importer mes listes d'élèves de classroom et de me permettre de générer un nom de manière aléatoire sans avoir à changer de fenêtre au tableau. Je ne veux pas aller sur lumio mais rester sur ma présentation Notebook.

  11. The old version of paintbrush allowed for different thickness of line depending on the force of my pen on my Wacom tablet. This was a very attractive pen style to use when writing notes for my class. It was a solid line, with different thicknesses, but not directional as it is with the calligraphic pen. The current paintbrush just looks ugly; a broken, diffuse line with regular thickness. Has SMART removed features that allow for interaction with touch sensitive devices like the Wacom tablets?

  12. Get a recent files list when right-clicking on the SMART Notebook icon in the taskbar while using SMART Notebook 24.
    Used to be there now disappeared. Really useful when planning the day ahead and then closing the files before going home.

    We had to do some extra investigation on this one, because it wasn't a feature we built into Notebook. It turns out this was a feature of Windows, and they have since removed that feature. We do not have the ability to add it back in.

  13. Je n'arrive pas à sélectionner le texte que je veux. C'est toujours décaler sur les lignes du bas. Dans l'exemple, j'essaie de sélectionner Exercices et c'est cours qui est sélectionné.

  14. Losing the masking capabilities of Smart Notebook was an awful decision! It is one of the few reasons I still use Smart and have not switched over to Google Slides like many of my colleagues have. Luckily I can still run the old version and have that ability, but just might have to consider finally being done with my Smart Notebook.

    This feature will be included in Notebook 24.1, releasing this month!

  15. Complaint.

    When I add a medium grid for graphing, the new update completely washes out the grid. In the past, we could use the Transparency feature of Properties to darken or lighten the grid. Now, not really an option. Way to light. Not useable.

  17. For many years I have, at various times, found myself trying to find something in a Notebook file, but am unsure which file it is in. I have to open all the contenders and then try to find it manually. This can take a LOT of time.
    As the Notebook file appears to be a proprietary format ( i.e. windows search doesn't know what to do with it) , could you create a SMART*Find tool which I can enter some text and it will search a given folder (and subfolders) for all Notebook files containing the specified text ?

  19. We currently switched to SMART Notebook Plus, and it is missing many elements that I have relied on in previous versions of SMART. It makes working in Notebook very inefficient. I cannot find how to align text and images in our new version; I miss being able to add text directly into a shape; I am unable to copy and paste a text to match the page's text; and I have lots of issues when trying to lock things--esp. numbers. I am confused why these features would have been taken away. Thanks for any help you can give.
