How do I move SMART Notebook files to Google Slides?

    Smart Notebook is going away. You’ll want to migrate/convert your .notebook files.

    We recommend converting them into Google Slides (Powerpoint).
    This has to be done from a Windows PC (At least the first part.)


    Open your file in Smart Notebook, then click File -> Export As -> Powerpoint…



    Save the file into your Google Drive. The easiest way is just to click on G:/My Drive


    The rest of the process does NOT have to be done on a Windows computer.

    It can be done on a Chrome Laptop.



    Open the Web Browser (Google Chrome) and go to Google Drive (https://drive.google.com)

    It may take a minute, but the Powerpoint you saved should show up here.


    Now we'll follow the guide for converting Microsoft files to Google files:
    With the Microsoft file open, click File -> Save As Google...


    You'll briefly see this message:


    Your new Google Format file will open up, and you'll see a message confirming.
    You can either delete the original file, or hold onto it for safekeeping.

    You’ll notice the layout is a little weird. It’s portrait instead of Landscape.


    Click File -> Page Setup


    Change to Widescreen 16:9, then click Apply



    Some things may be incorrectly sized, or spaced. Go through and fix anything that doesn’t look correct.
