  2. I just updated SM to v. 21.0.2062.0. My old spinner widget that was working yesterday no longer works today. Please fix widgets for new version.

  3. Make inserting a link to a current attachment work correctly. This is actually Notebook 21, not the version 18 that is claimed above to be the current version. I am attaching a video of the issue.

  4. Extend page seems to happen automatically sometimes when resizing windows or switching monitors, etc. There does not seem to be a way to undo that extension. It would be useful to be able to shrink (crop blank space from) a page before printing or exporting or uploading to Lumio.

  5. The latest option is NB 18.0 but I am using NB 22.0. I would like the SMART Capture tool in Notebook and SMART Ink to stay open on the window as it used to. Currently it minimizes after you save/add your image. I use it to capture pages or parts of page from pdf to add to pages in NB for upload to Lumio. Very fast! I've been using Notebook since 2003. I know it used to remain open but no more so it has to brought up from the minimize on the bottom bar each time.

  7. I miss the old smartboards that allowed users to customize the pen hardware default settings. It is a horrible design to not be able to set a default of the pen style and thickness. I am constantly changing the pen settings to use the calligraphic pen with the thinnest line possible. I also preferred the ease of quickly changing the pen color in the tray, but the sleeker design of the new versions don't offer this.

  8. Please provide a way to hide the watermark in Notebook Basic. Our schools in Ontario are closed right now b/c of pandemic and we cannot get into the school to connect to a smartboard right now. Perhaps extend trial time to 180 days?

  11. Change the page size (papersize) and orientation of the page. Currently, Notebook pages only present a 8.5x11 page in Portrait view. With new boards and displays being 16:9 aspect ratio, this causes some viewing issues that could be easier to resolve with the ability to rotate the page to better fit the wide view. It would also make for printing on 11x17 papers for our visually impaired students much easier on them.

  12. The "mask" feature is inefficient. It launches in the center at a small size when it would be much better if it launched at the edges of the image. Both the mask frame and the actual image can be moved, which is frustrating.

    Why not just make it a cropping feature like everyone is used to??

  13. Trimble 3D Warehouse objects still require a "Sketchup 2014 Model" to be inserted into Notebook, even on the latest Notebook version. This seems to be an impossible task, as Trimble's earliest downloadable 3D versions are 2019 or newer. I try that and they always fail. My thought is to hope that you can update Notebook's ability to pull in more current versions of these 3D images as your 2014 requirement makes rendering them useless.

  14. Old Notebook files have NAMES ... and new notebook files have NUMBERS.

    • When using a link and there are 2 (or more) pages with the same name, then the link will work correctly, however when editing it will reflect the preview of the first slide with that name.

    • Also when linking and using the cursor keys the preview is not updated. When using the mouse click, it will update the preview.

    And also we need more votes for a REAL formula editor. Not that monster that is currently baked in.
    - Style formula editor (like in Word/old Mathtype)
    - Changeable…

  15. Currently, there are too many clicks involved in taking screenshots. Years ago I would choose what to do (ex. send to current page) and I could take tons of pictures in a row without the need to tell SMART to send to the current page EVERY time I took a picture. SMART would just continue to do the same thing until I made a different choice. The choices were listed before you took the picture instead of after and without the unnecessary need to click "do something else" which creates an extra click. Please list them all to save the…

  16. Zoom option of drawing a box around what you want to zoom in on. This is incredibly useful to focus students attention and for drawing on models.

  17. I have re-useable master files for my lessons. Coloured rectangles hide the answers.

    The rectangles can be removed by clicking and deleting . That works, but is time-consuming and awkward when standing at the screen, especially when I have 10 of them on the one page and I'm trying to hit that little red cross in the toolbar! With the boxes removed though, I can save the file as a pdf for my students where they can see the answers.

    I recently discovered the "object animation" feature. This lets me set up boxes which disappear from the screen when you…

  18. In SMART Notebook Add-On options, have the flashcard game have the option for all flashcards to be in a stack and revealed one-at-a-time. The game randomizer is not good enough so it would be best to have a toggle option on creating the game to allow for all flashcards to be in a stack.
