Automatic Grouping
When you draw or write on a screen, SMART Notebook SE automatically groups the
objects you create in close proximity, enabling you to interact with these objects as a
single object. For example, if you write the letters of a word, SMART Notebook SE
groups the individual letters into a single object, allowing you to interact with the
whole word.
If SMART Notebook SE groups objects that you want to manipulate individually,
ungroup the objects, as described above.
