  • Copy and paste text comments! Tap and hold on a comment then tap ‘copy’. You can paste the text wherever you want, including a new text note in another folder.

  • Pin text notes right inside PDF files! This feature is available to Showbie Pro or Pro trial users. Use the text note tool when viewing a PDF to attach a quick note to any spot on any page. You can expand, collapse, reposition and delete notes as well. Teachers can add shared notes or individual feedback, just like assignment folder notes.

  • Export your student list! Go to the class members popover and tap ‘Copy Students’. You can paste the CSV student list into a spreadsheet or anywhere you like.
