The latest addition to the Promethean software family is here! This page will serve as a resource to help you with the transition to the powerful new software. Be sure to visit [|Promethean Planet's ActivInspire page] to get more information about the software, take the Promethean Learning Transition course to learn what is new in Inspire, and more!

==**Important Notes about using Inspire** == If you have used ActivStudio in the past, all of your flipcharts will work properly in ActivInspire. Flipcharts created in ActivInspire will NOT open in ActivStudio. The files are not backward-compatible, so you will need ActivInspire in order to open flipcharts created in ActivInspire. ActivInspire files are saved with the //**.flipchart**// extension at the end, so you can tell if it is an ActivInspire file or ActivStudio file.
