Two users are creating or manipulating objects in SMART Notebook software on a SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard. One user is using his or her finger. The other user is using a pen from the pen tray.

When the user using the pen presses a button in the toolbar, the selected tool or option changes for the user using his or her finger instead.

The user using the pen must press buttons in the toolbar with the pen, not with his or her finger.
