Importing files from other interactive whiteboard programs

You can import content into .notebook files from a variety of sources, including other interactive whiteboard programs.

If the other interactive whiteboard programs support the Interactive Whiteboard Common File Format (CFF), you can export a CFF file from those programs and then import that CFF file into SMART Notebook software.

Otherwise, you can attempt to import the other interactive whiteboard programs’ native file formats.

Note 

You can also export CFF files (see Exporting files).
