  1. Extend page is gone and Scroll bar has been taken out.
    When you do full screen, they have removed the scroll feature on the left. So you can't even scroll down your page. It's odd because you can place items below the page but you just cannot see them. Why? please fix this, thank you!

    Extend Page is now available in Notebook 23.1 SP1. 


    Improvements included with this addition: 

    1. You can now Undo an extend page (in case you extend by accident). 
    2. The page no longer truncates its length to the lowest object when moving to another page. Length will stay as defined so you can use that space when returning to the page.
  2. 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.

  3. 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…

    Notebook 23.2 released in December included a major update for tables, returning features from Notebook 22 and even adding some new ones. We're still working to improve the text editing experience. Currently you have to deselect and reselect the cell to change sizes, etc. That is not the best experience, and we will improve on it in the future.

  4. It looks like the category choices need to be updated since the latest still says Notebook 18. This is for Notebook 23. Please bring Screen Capture back to the NB toolbar, or at least have it as an option for customizing and adding to the toolbar. This is sorely missed!!!!! Even if it's in SMART Ink, that doesn't help at all when at home creating lessons. Ugh!!!! The "window" capture hasn't worked in years, but if you could bring back the other three options, that would be amazing. And also, separate thought, not at all a fan of the new…

  5. I would like to be able to manipulate the screen shade from anywhere on the screen like we used to be able to. With 23, we can only drag the screen shade using the circle handles in the middle of the screen.

  7. Can we please have a feature that allows us to open all files in Smart22 rather than clicking "view" and then "open in 22".

    The new version of Smart seems to have taken a GIANT step back.

  8. Please return the extend page feature. It apparently went away with the 2023 update.

  9. SMART Geodreieck by ASTRO from Measurement Tools in SMART Notebook 23 is not as good as in previous versions. The axis of rotation of the tool is moved to the top of the drafting triangle instead of the center of the base (as it was in version 22). Rotating and zooming the drafting triangle is very clunky.

    This was an unfortunate error that made it into the 23.0 live version, but the tool has never truly lived up to our expectations. We have rebuilt the set square/Geodreieck in Notebook 23.1, which is available for update now. It functions as one would interact with it in the real world.

  10. I use "set image transparency" all the time, and now it's gone. I am sick of having to open everything in Notebook 22 to use the features I want to.

  12. In the new SMART Notebook 23 there is no possibility to enter Polish diacritical marks in Activities, which makes lesson preparation very difficult. Previous versions did not have this bug. Polish characters in Activities, please.

  14. As tools and features have come and gone, this is the very first time since at least 2010 that the latest release of Notebook is a TOTAL MISS, a mess, buggy, and with TONS of very valuable tools gone. People are now paying for Notebook Plus, but getting much less of what they had before. Not sure what happened with this team on this with this unfortunate overhaul of Notebook, but it's really frustrating. As we use it more, we're finding even more things missing or that aren't working correctly that were very important for lesson creation, teaching and learning.I'm…

  15. I would love to be able to centre the text in a text box when creating new text boxes (Centre vertically and horizotally). One can centre the text but not align it in the middle of the box.

  16. PLEASE bring back being able to write diacritical marks (accents, etc.) with key strokes. Also, copying and pasting text with those marks - now I have to go back and retype those letters. This never happened until recently.

  20. Please bring back the ability to choose any color with the highlight pen feature. I use this tool regularly to show students how to color in a chart/picture/diagram while still being able to see what is underneath for observations and to help them follow along. I would love for this feature to be available again.
    Thank you!
