Saving a File




By default, SMART Notebook saves your files in .notebook format. Anyone with SMART Notebook software version 9.5 or later for the Windows, Mac or Linux operating system installed on their computer can open a .notebook file.




You can also set SMART Notebook to save your file automatically when you select a different page or after a specified period of time.

NOTE: The default file format for SMART Notebook version 10 is .notebook, but the default file format for versions 8, 9.0 and 9.1 is . xbk. If you want to open your file in SMART Notebook software 8, 9.0 or 9.1, save your file with the . xbk extension. However, the . xbk format doesn't support some of the objects and properties available in SMART Notebook version 10. If you save your file in the . xbk format, SMART Notebook doesn't save the objects or properties in your file that the . xbk format doesn't support. Additionally, if you create text in SMART Notebook software 10 and save your file in . xbk format, you're unable to edit the text in SMART Notebook software 8, 9.0 or 9.1.
