This version has been discontinued, but a newer version is available. You can download the newer version by visiting the downloads page. Some software requires a subscription.

SMART Notebook software uses a technology called TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to protect your data when it's sent over the internet. However, these older technologies now have some weaknesses that make it susceptible to attacks by malicious agents. To ensure your data continues to be safe while using SMART software, SMART Notebook is phasing out the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and implementing new protections.

To avoid potential disruptions and stay aligned with best security practices, SMART recommends updating to SMART Notebook 23 by December 31, 2023. If you don't update by this date, you will see an error message saying, "Trial period has expired" even if you have an active SMART Notebook Plus (SMART Learning Suite) subscription.

Benefits of upgrading

Creating a link to share lesson files

Sharing using a link enables you to easily share your lesson files with other teachers. It also enables you to send out copies of your SMART Notebook lessons so that students can review the lesson at home. Sending a link to a file is particularly useful for sharing large files, or if you want to save your files to your SMART Learning Suite Online lesson library.

If another teacher shares a link with you, when you click on the link, you’ll have the option to either download the file, or save it to your SMART Learning Suite Online lesson library.

Tip

Saving lesson files to the SMART Learning Suite Online (SLSO) lesson library is like saving files to a cloud drive, similar to how you might save files to a Google Drive or OneDrive account. It enables you to save your files to an online location and then access those files from any device once you sign in to SLSO using your SMART account credentials. To learn more, see .
