Use the dynamic toolbar to write and draw in digital ink, convert handwriting to text, take screen captures and use favorites. Although the dynamic toolbar works with the desktop and all applications, some of its options vary from application to application.
Before opening the dynamic toolbar, start SMART Ink (see Starting SMART Ink) and connect your computer to a SMART interactive product.

Notes
Buttons for the first four favorite pens appear around the toolbar when it’s minimized. These buttons are called “quick favorites” (see Using SMART Ink favorite pens).
The options available in full mode depend on the type of SMART interactive product connected to your computer.
The toolbar minimizes after 10 seconds of non-use. You can also minimize the toolbar at any time by pressing its center.
If the dynamic toolbar is covering content, drag it to a different area of the screen.
You can dock the dynamic toolbar to the left or right edge of the screen by dragging it to that edge or by pressing the docking button in the top-right corner of the dynamic toolbar.
When you press one of the buttons in the dynamic toolbar’s circle, the button moves to the top of the circle and a palette for the button appears. After 10 seconds of non-use, the toolbar minimizes and any open palettes disappear.
You can pin a palette so that it remains open while you write or draw or complete other tasks. To pin a palette, press Pin in its upper-right corner. To unpin the palette, press Unpin in its top-right corner.
Note
If you press the center of the toolbar, the toolbar minimizes and any pinned palettes disappear.
The dynamic toolbar disappears when you return the pen to its holder. If you pick up the pen later, the dynamic toolbar reappears in the same location.
You can also hide the dynamic toolbar in a number of other ways:
Dock the dynamic toolbar, push it off the screen until it disappears, and then press Close Ink when prompted.
Press the SMART Board icon in the notification area, and then select Hide Ink Toolbar.
Note
You can also turn off SMART Ink for a specific window or application (see Turning off SMART Ink).
