Every button NotebookLM Ultra Exporter adds to the NotebookLM page can be switched off. Feature toggles in the workspace control the export buttons, the batch and merge buttons in Studio, and the search and organising tools in the Sources panel. Changes apply at once, without reloading.

- Toggles change what is displayed; they do not change your plan.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need Pro for feature toggles?

No. It is part of the free extension and needs no account.

### The extension clutters my notebook. Can I slim it down?

Yes. Turn off everything except the exports you use. NotebookLM updates immediately.
