Undoing Your Mistakes - Smart Technologies SMART BOARD User Manual

To erase freehand annotations with the Pen Tray eraser:
1 Pick up the eraser from the Pen Tray.
The cursor will immediately change to an eraser icon.
2 Press on the SMART Board with the physical eraser, your finger or with any other
object.
The electronic ink will disappear wherever Board contact is made.
NOTE: This method of erasing only works with annotations created with the Pen Tray
styluses or the Notebook Pen tool button. You cannot erase geometric objects or text objects
with the Pen Tray eraser.
"Circle and tap" erasing method:
Encircle any area of the Board you want erased with an edge of the round Pen Tray eraser.
Then tap once inside that circle to erase all the annotations inside that area at the same time.
Once you've removed the eraser from its Pen Tray slot, any subsequent contact with the
Board has the effect of erasing annotations. Therefore, while holding the eraser in one hand,
you can use a finger of the other hand to completely encircle the area of the Board you want
erased and then tap once inside that circle. All traces of electronic ink contained within that
circle will immediately disappear.
NOTE: This method of erasing only works with freehand objects. You can't use the Pen Tray
eraser to erase geometric objects or Text Boxes.

Undoing Your Mistakes

Edit menu or press the Undo toolbar button to reverse the effect of the last command

previously issued command or object, you can also change your mind again and reinstate
the original object by selecting Redo from the Edit menu or pressing the Redo button.
The Undo command in the Edit menu changes to show the most recent command or action
affected. Undo applies to single annotations, multiple selected annotations and annotation
groups.
