Saving files automatically

You can manually save your .notebook files at any time (see Saving files) and export them to a variety of formats (see Exporting files). You can also set SMART Notebook software to save your file automatically when you display a different page or after a specified period of time.

Notes 

  • SMART Notebook software doesn’t include attachments when you export files as picture files. To include attachments, you must export your file as either web pages or PDF (Adobe Reader 6.0 or later).

  • SMART Notebook software doesn’t export files that you attach to your .notebook file as shortcuts. If you want to include an attachment, attach a copy of the file (see Attaching files and web pages).

  • SMART Notebook software doesn’t export some gradient, pattern and image effects. These effects might appear as a solid fill or appear incorrectly in the exported file.
