Saving a File Automatically




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

NOTE: You can also set SMART Notebook to export a file automatically in a variety of formats, including HTML and PDF.

NOTE: The default file format for SMART Notebook software 8, 9.0 and 9.1 is . xbk. If you want to open your file in one of these versions, save your file with the . xbk extension. However, the . xbk format doesn't support some of the objects and properties available in SMART Notebook software 10. If you save your file in the . xbk format, SMART Notebook doesn't save the properties in your file that the . xbk format doesn't support or else it saves them as images that you're unable to edit when you open the file.
