Clearing and resetting pages
After presenting a lesson activity to students, you can clear or reset the pages in your .notebook files to use the files again for future lesson activities.
You can erase digital ink and delete individual objects from a page. You can also clear all objects or all digital ink objects from a page simultaneously.
Note
You’re unable to clear objects locked in place or infinitely cloned objects (see Cloning objects). To clear all objects from a page, you must unlock all locked objects and clear the selection of Infinite Cloner on any infinitely cloned objects.
To clear all objects from the page
If you haven’t done so already, display the page you want to clear.
Select Edit > Clear Page.
Notes
This option is disabled if there are no objects on the page or if the objects are locked or infinitely cloned.
You can also select this option by doing one of the following:
Right-click (Windows operating system) or Control-click (OS X operating system).
Pressing the page’s menu arrow in the Page Sorter
Pressing the page’s menu arrow while editing page groups (see To create a group, move pages between groups, move a group, or delete a group)
Pressing Clear Page if it’s included on the toolbar (see Customizing the toolbar)
You can clear all objects from multiple pages at the same time. Select the pages’ thumbnails in the Page Sorter, press the menu arrow, and then select Clear Page.
