AFTER this was recorded they updated Notability and added some extra features. I’ve recorded a demo and saved it as a Notability Note so you can hear/see what the new features are.
If they are not in a folder shared with you, then email tech for access.

Start by knowing what you want to accomplish, THEN figure out the steps.
Export/Import Tool [icons are Rectangle with an Arrow in or out]
Export:

Google Drive – can select destination folder, export type

2. Export Type
PDF – what you see is what see, can change it, but CAN write “on top” of it. Can choose to keep the background [“paper”].
RTF – useful if you want text to be transferred into a word processor. CAN export images and notes, but apparently only openable on Macs [according to the Help document]
NOTE – Notability’s native file format. Openable only in Notability.
