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.

The Timed Save Wizard dialog box appears.

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.
