NOTES

If a program is Ink Aware (that is, it is integrated with SMART Notebook), whatever you write or draw on the interactive product becomes a component of the program file. You can save your changes by saving the file.

If a program is non-Aware, whatever you write or draw on the interactive product appears on a transparent layer over the current program. You can take a screen capture of your notes and the program at any time using the Screen Capture toolbar. Each screen capture appears as an image in a .notebook file.
