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 program supports the Becta Interactive Whiteboard Common File Format, you can export a CFF file from the program and then import that CFF file into SMART Notebook software. Otherwise, you can attempt to import the other interactive whiteboard program’s native file format.

NOTE: You can also export CFF files.

To import CFF files

  1. Select File > Import.

    The Open dialog box appears.

  2. Select All Common File Format Files (*.iwb) in the Files of type list.

  3. Browse to and select the file you want to import.

  4. Press Open.

    The file opens.

To import other files

  1. Press Open .

The Open dialog box appears.

  1. Select All Files (*.*) in the Files of type list.

  2. Browse to and select the file you want to import.

  3. Press Open.

If you import a file that SMART Notebook software supports, the file opens.

If you import a file that SMART Notebook software doesn't support, SMART Notebook adds it to the Attachments tab. You can open these attached files using third-party software, but you’re unable to add them to a page.
