Profiles¶

Profiles dictate how the editor will behave and look. Notaker has three profiles you can choose from. Changes to profiles are saved to your account.

Choosing a profile¶

When you open a document or recording on a new device, you'll be prompted to select a profile for that device. Your selection will be linked to that device and will load automatically when opening documents and recordings going forward.

There are three profiles available in Notaker, each with presets for use on specific devices.

Desktop/Laptop¶

Used for devices that have a keyboard and mouse. This includes but is not limited to Windows and Mac computers.

Whiteboard¶

Used for digital whiteboard devices. This includes but is not limited to SmartBoard, Newline, and BenQ devices.

Tablet¶

Used for handheld touch devices.

Changing and editing profiles¶

With a document or recording open, go to the menu and select Preferences to change the profile for that device or edit your current profile.

You can at any time revert a profile to its default settings by clicking the Reset button next to the selected profile.
