Dual Page Display
Where did Dual Page Display go?? It is the key reason I have been using Notebook for years, when every other professor I know uses PowerPoint.
You'd think SMART would try to keep features that distinguish it from the competition. I guess I'll need to make the switch once Notebook 22 is no longer available.

PLEASE bring option to select pages of a Notebook to export to pdf back!!!!!!
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.
74 votesIn 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?

PLEASE enable some form of equation editor or Math Type for SmartLab activities such as Smart Response, Monster Quiz and Game Shows.
Please enable an equation editor function for Smartlab activities. Currently not able to use any and this is prohibitive as Maths teachers cannot enter any maths functions. Originally Smart Response did have an equation editor and this was fantastic - but the new SR doesn't permit this which is a huge step backwards. Not practical to type up a function / equation / expression in something like word then snip it and save it and then import this as an image - that is far too clunky and time-consuming. Also the great activities in SmartLab do not have the ability…

Equation Editor
The new equation editor program is terrible! You can't input spaces anymore. The font is weird and makes everything too close and exponents look misplaced. The upper-level operators are missing like limit notation and some integral operators. I can not longer use this program without a better equation editor program as a math teacher. The extend page option needs to come back and the screen capture as well. What a terrible update for educators.

please bring back the random number generator
I miss the old flash number generator. The only way to do a number generator now is clunky and limited only to 99.

In Smart Notebook 23, the "Align" section is missing from the View menu. In version 22 this was still present. Why has it disappeared?

Type and write directly into tables. Fix text formatting for tables!
I find tables to bee completely unuseable in Notebook 23.
Text has to be dragged and dropped in and out of cells to be edited. For students this is basicly impossible to wrap their head around. Why can't you just type directly into the cells? Why can't you edit text inside the cells??
Moving text from one cell to the next somehow creates a copy instead of moving the text. Formatting text once it's been inserted into the cells is impossible unless the text is removed first. Resizing table cells once anything has been added to the table at all…33 votes -

Fix pen thickness
Please make the default pen thickness something we can set to stay. I like the thinest possible and I am sure others prefer it thicker. BUT if we could set it to stay the thickness we want that would be awesome. It is a pain to have to reset it everytime I change color or pick the pen back up.

Error PDF Export on Notebook 23.0
The export as PDF fails when using Notebook 23.0. Instead, the Notebook must be opened to 22.0 then exported. It would be nice to not have this extra step.

Can you please get rid of the watermark on my smart notebook so I can share with students on-line?
We are teaching from home because of coronavirus. I really need my Smartboard software. I used my Smartboard ALL the time at school. I have a free version on my laptop at home but I cannot share my screen online with kids because of the dang watermark. PLEASE remove it. This is a tool I already know and love. I cannot keep learning new tools.

SMART lab
It would be great to be able to use the timer, buzzer, dice, spinning wheel, and hat pick independent of a SMART lab activity. For example, teachers may want to use the hat pick to randomly select a student for a different in-class activity unrelated to SMART lab. Perhaps these tools could be placed in the Gallery for easy access. These options would help alleviate the dependence some teachers have on Flash animations such as Random word chooser.
30 votesThanks for the suggestion. This is something that we’re looking into right now.

Tip: Can Go Back to Notebook 22
Fyi. . . If you, like many, are desperately missing your favorite Notebook features that were for some reason taken away in NB 23, you can go to "View" and then "Open in Notebook 22" and your favorite things that were so useful for lesson planning/creation, teaching, and learning will be there again! Hello screen capture, SMART Recorder, Concept Mapping, and more! Maybe if everyone does this, they'll get the hint : )

Dice with more than 6 sides, eg 10 sided dice or a 12 sided dice.
More options with the dice interactive. To be able to choose how many sides the dice has.

Favorite Flash Animation Replacements
Here are some favorite flash animation items used by our teachers. It would be great to have replacement options in place for these: Random group picker (image/text) and Random word chooser.

Feature request for Version 23
You can no longer add text to Shapes in version 23. Also when you have links to a place in the document they no longer work on individual objects when they are grouped. These were all features that worked in previous builds.
