  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  4. "Please update the way you can change fonts in an entire lesson. Would like a way to automatically change the fonts of an entire slide similar to how it is done in PowerPoint, instead of having to change fonts one by one." Submitted on behalf of a customer, case 00761693

  5. 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…

    Hi Anna


    I understand your frustration. If you would be willing to send us some of the .notebook files where you experience these issues, it would help us identify and resolve the issues as quickly as possible.


    If so, please reach out to https://www.smarttech.com/connect-with-smart/contact-support to send the files to the Notebook product team.


    Thank you.

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

  7. 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.

  8. Please fix the pen alignment problems when extending a page.

    Overall, this software is at its most glitchy and buggy that it's ever been.

    When trying to complete a handwriting lesson, using a Smart dedicated lined handwriting paper background, when I extend the page, it messes up the alignment of the pen, so what was once written nicely on the line, is now floating in the air!

    This is just one of many glitchy problems. Are your software engineers looking at all these bugs?

  10. When I went to go to exchange.smarttech.com to download a notebook file on the website it takes me straight to Lumio by SMART for some reason. When I went to download a smart notebook file on my computer that option is not there, there is only a upload to lumio icon. Please bring back the feature that allows you to download files as SMART Notebook Files on your computer, and SMART Exchange.

  11. 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…

  12. Durch Ziehen am Anfasser kann man die Größe eines Objektes ändern. Für Formen ist das in Version 22 nur proportional möglich, in Version 24 nur frei. Jeweils unabhängig vom Drücken der Shift-Taste! Grafiken lassen sich nur proportional skalieren.
    Es wäre sinnvoll, das Verhalten zu vereinheitlichen:
    Konsequenterweise sollte in jeder Version und für alle relevanten Objekte (Form oder Grafik) das Verhalten gleich sein: ohne Shift freie Größenänderung, mit Shift proportional.

  13. Please add Transparent Background Mode back into SB24. We have developed our teaching pedagogy and learned to stack windows in a certain order with SMART Notebook software on top to utilize this feature. This feature was helpful and built into our teaching practices.

  14. Hello,
    I managed to get the application installation working via Microsoft Intune, however I would really appreciate it if you could try to publish the SmartNotebook in Winget package manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/. It would make my job very easy, as at the moment I have to do the updates on the end stations manually and as the application takes a very long time to install/update, it is not an efficient way.
    I manage multiple elementary schools and there are a lot of computers with your application on them.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

  16. 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.

  18. Da das Board über 20 Touchpunkte verfügt, könnte man doch vielleicht die Formerkennung und proportionale Skalierung mit multitouch realisieren, wie dies z.B. in Procreate geht. Beispiel: ich male eine Ellipse und bleibe mit dem Stift am Ende auf dem Board, wodurch dir Form automatisch erkannt wird. Durch Aufsetzen eines Zeiten Fingers der anderen Hand erfolgt die Skalierung automatisch proportional.

  20. When cloning a page, everything on the page shifts around meaning it has to be readjusted to place it backs to where it was, hence wanting to clone the page to be the same.
