Support for newer Ubuntu-Distributions
We need updates for the Linux-Version!
With Ubuntu 16.04 reaching EOL in the near future, we need an update for the Linux-Packages to be able to install them on 18.04 or even 20.04. We don't need the features from the newer Versions, we just need official support for Version 11 for newer Ubuntu Distros. Without it, schools here in Europe trying to teach using Linux need to buy more PCs and Windows Licences just for using the Smartboards they already own, which is money that could very well be spend in more important areas. With 16.04 and the old version,…

Fonts!
When I create a Notebook file on my computer, I use custom fonts to make it more visually appealing. When I send the files to SMART Online Learning Suite, the fonts change to the defaults and the formatting gets ruined. It would be great if there was a way to preserve the fonts, or add custom fonts to SMART Learning Suite.

Different colour backgrounds on in-built Whiteboard (Smartboard 6000)
In the in-built Whiteboard, we currently have access to lined, grid, dotted or grey background. Several children in my school have problems dealing with text on white background. Please can we have some other colours (pastel).

In math equation I can't make a space or use delete or backspace button on the keyboard. It just deletes the whole page instead. In earlier version it worked properly.

Sentence Arrange
In earlier versions of Notebook, there was a Sentence Arrange activity. I loved this activity! As a French/Spanish teacher, I used it in many different ways: putting numbers in order, putting days of the week or months of the year in order, putting conversations in order, etc. This activity, Sentence Arrange, is technically available in the Version 18 Toolkit but it is unfortunately garbage! There is no edit feature. There is no reset. There is no check feature. To add items, you have to manually clone the existing ones. It is not good at all. Could you please update the…

Smaller line thickness when writing by hand
When I moved from NB15 to NB16, I noticed that the minimum line thickness that I can choose when writing by hand appears thicker than before. I have also heard from a collegue that she does not like using the iwb for writing a lot of text because she has to write large letter because of the line thickness and therefore cannot get enough onto one visible page. So she constantly reverts back to the chalk board. I don't, but I would still like to write smaller letters. So I would appreciate the minimum for the normal pen tool to…

Highlighting covers text when exporting as pdf
I often work with text or text inserted as a picture and then highlight certain phrases in our discussion on class. I then share the boardwork with my class via our VLE. Since I updated to 16.2, however, the highlighting bars cover the text completely so that you cannot read anymore what's underneath. With text I can get around it by moving the text to the foreground, with picture it is not possible. Please correct this. Up until 16.1 that was not a problem.

I love love love having all the Lab activities move out to student devices
I would love to see more lab activities that can have students in groups and that look like monster quiz though. My students are highly engaged in this and it really allows us to focus on big emphasis areas in our curriculum of communication and collaboration.

Monster Quiz
I would like to be able to turn of the time pressure when the students work on the questions. This gives me more choices on how to use this great lab.

New Lesson Activity Builder (LAB)
I love how easy it is to set up the new LAB in SMART NB 15. The designs are exciting, vivid, and engaging. I would imagine and hope in the future that more designs will be added. In addition, I think it would be a good idea to add pre-made/created LAB activities that are geared toward specific subject areas and have the sorting categories and items with lists already created.

New Version is no longer usable
The tables are now useless. I can't type directly into the boxes anymore and trying to shrink the font is frustrating. I shouldn't have to redo work I've been using since September. Also, in the gallery, the music notes, which I have been using for many, many years can no longer be shrunk. When I try to resize them to make them workable they go blurry. I am going back to version 22 thanks to a post in here, but I think it's ridiculous that I have to do that with every file.

Please fix PDF export in the new version. Attaching the two PDF files - 10-02 - new version (horrible), and 10-04 - old version (that works).

Feature changes are awful
I can no longer reshape (longer or wider) text boxes or objects - they are only able to be made smaller or larger - very frustrating. Also, there is no option to extend page or even scroll down past the observable window. Also, the new box around a selected object is blue - inside the box as well! Every selected object is highlighted with a light blue tint inside the very visible blue outline - it happens with locked and unlocked objects. I have already started researching alternatives to this software.

Make highlighter transparent again when exported to pdf
An earlier version of SMART had this problem and it was then fixed in a subsequent update. The latest version of Notebook, 23.1, has this problem again. When exporting highlighted text as a PDF, the highlighter becomes solid and you cannot see the text behind it.

Free basic edition of SMART Notebook for Linux
SMART Tech provides a basic free modern edition of the SMART Notebook software for Windows and Mac users only. I would like please to request that SMART Tech offers also to the Linux users a modern free basic edition of the same software (SMART Notebook).
The current version (at the time I am writing, March 2023) of that SMART Notebook for Windows is 18 but for Linux it is only 11. Version 11 is not a modern version and it doesn't work with the recent Linux. It works only with Ubuntu 20.04 or Linux Mint 20.3 (because Mint 20.3 is…6 votes -
Formula editor still a joke
Notebook ... version 22. More than 10 versions after version 11.
And still no decent (fast to use) math-editor.- The latest one is sluggish.
- The latest one does not insert my equations, only the one "it" thinks are correctly formatted.
- The style (Times New Roman) .. without italic variables just does not feel correct.
Please bring back the formula-editor that was implemented in version 11!
