  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. The latest update no longer allows me to drag the cursor over a number of objects on a page and select them as a group to edit / move etc.

  4. 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 : )

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

  6. Please return back the transparent background feature. As a teacher, I use the transparent background on a regular basis.

  8. when doing online activity with kids, have option to touch correct spot. For example: with angle pair relationships, I want to be able to put up a graphic with a certain angle highlighted and tell them to find the angle the alternate interior angle. Then after they touch the correct spot, it would tell them. So on our end, we would be able to draw the areas they could touch that would be correct.

  9. Notebook 23 is missing the "Graph" feature under the Insert button in the ribbon. As a high school math teacher, this was an important feature for me. Also, when resting my cursor on the Notebook icon in the taskbar, I can no longer see the previous files that I had opened. This slows down my teaching in the classroom. The blue shade around objects that are selected or when text is being entered is annoying as well. I've had Notebook 23 for less than 24 hours and dislike it. I am switching back to Notebook 22.

  10. 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.

  11. "Reset page" messes up images
    When trying to "reset page" between classes, images just appear as grey boxes.

  13. The "Align" feature has been removed from the latest version: it has become impossible to easily and efficiently align objects (the top of one with the bottom of another for example) ; impossible as well to align objects with the center of the page (because we can't know where the center of the page is anymore!) ; impossible to draw perfectly horizontal or vertical lines (what's the point of being able to draw lines then?)...

    This feature is essential and exists in other competitor softwares, so why no longer on Notebook? Moreover, it always has been an option: you could…

  14. I went to Mask part of an image. It wasn't an option anymore. What? Who takes away features?? This is not an update. SN 23 crashes way too often. It also has trouble saving certain drawings. I drew a triangle in a previous version and the hypotenuse was flipped right/left. When I reopened the file, the hypotenuse was going the wrong way again.

  15. 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.

  16. The support suggestion to open version 23 first rather than opening the previous version 22 file directly is not good. It immediately breaks the version 22 file if it has any backgrounds such as lined paper and graph paper. Response from SMART Support.
    **
    I have reviewed the files you sent. I can see the issues with the arrangement of text boxes.

    The issue is likely the result of the change that was made to SMART Notebook 23's workspace. The workspace is not a strict 16:9 aspect ratio. The issue persisted for you when you tried to open the files…

  18. Before when you would type, you could go to Format, Paragraph, Line Spacing and change the amount of space between your text. This is a very important feature that was taken out. Without it, you cannot fit the words with images exactly how you want to display them. Please bring this feature back.

  20. When you copy and paste an image, you use to be able to grab the item by selecting it from the bottom right corner and resize it anyway you like. With the 23 version, you can only make it bigger or smaller. In 22, you could stretch or shorten the image in any direction. You can do this with shapes that you create in 23, but you cannot do it with images that you paste from somewhere else. This feature was crucial when trying to fit certain images in specific spaces. Please bring this back, thank you.
