Shared iPads: Saving Notability files and emailing them

01/24/2023 Tom Rule

On the Middle School Shared iPads, you cannot use the Mail app. So how do you email your teacher?

Here’s how – open this webpage:

webmail.mountdesales.net

You can attach files, forward, reply – all the standard stuff.

So how do you save a file from Notability so that you can email it?

In Notability, be looking at the file you want to email.

Click the Export icon [the square with the arrow pointing out].
Select SHARE TO…..,
Click the SHARE NOTE button,
Click “Save to Files“.
- You then select a location – “On my iPad” or “iCloud Drive”
  - I suggest selecting a location “On my iPad”, especially for grades 6 and 7 students.
    
    The document will automatically be copied up to iCloud anyway in due course, and local storage will save much faster.
