Finding Flipcharts

Your flipcharts are saved by default to a folder called “My Flipcharts”

To locate flipcharts quickly type “flipcharts” into the search bar in Finder.

To create a shortcut to this folder, drag “My Flipcharts” to the sidebar under “Places”

To delete a flipchart permanently, drag to the trash can.

* To email a flipchart, add the flipchart as an attachment. (It won’t send if it is too large.)
