*****Tip: Think of the Gallery "folder" organization just like your computer. When you search for a file on your computer, you drill down from , "My Computer", "C:", etc... There are sub-folders when you see a + sign (or an arrow on a Mac). 

******Tip: You can copy and paste any image, template, multimedia or lesson into a folder of your choice. You can also drag and drop images right into the Gallery. Just make sure you have the folder highlighted that you want the new image to appear, then drop it into the lower portion of the Gallery.


  1. Gallery file types are divided into 4 parts: Images, Templates, Multimedia, Lesson (The "Lessons" section is not in the Gallery by default. This is available when you add things to the Gallery.)


  1. When searching the Gallery, make sure you have one of the folders highlighted. If you want to search the entire Gallery, then highlight Gallery folder. If you are looking for a multimedia music file, then highlight the Music folder.


  1. Imported Content Packs can be added from mimioconnect.com


  1. Questions and Results are used to create multiple choice questions and can be used with the Mimio Vote system or the MimioMobile app.


  1. Screen Annotations is the folder that contains ANY screen annotations that you create. These can  also be inserted into new Notebook files.


  1. New Folder - For creating new folders or subfolders. You can also click/drag folders into other folders to create subfolders.


  1. Import File - While you can insert files directly into a Notebook file, you can also make entire files a part of your gallery.


  1. Copy/Paste - Put any Gallery file into multiple folders. You can also "right-click" to copy and paste files and folders.


  1. Import Content Pack - When you download packs from mimioconnect.com to your computer (MCF files), you use this button to put the Content Packs into your Gallery. Or, if another teacher has shared content with you, this is how to organize those files into your Gallery.


  1. Export Content Pack - Use this button to share any part of your Gallery with other teachers or save them to a portable drive in order to copy them on to another computer.
