To add a page without opening it, right-click any link and choose Add this link to NotebookLM with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter installed. NotebookLM fetches the linked page as a source in the notebook you pick. It is free, within 20 imports per day.

## Quick facts

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Where | Right-click menu on a link |
| Plan | Free |
| Allowance | Free: 20 successful source imports per local day, up to 5 per batch. Pro removes both limits. |
| Data flow | The material you select is sent to Google NotebookLM. Capture reads the source site from your browser. |

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Right-click the link on the page you are reading.
3. Choose **Add this link to NotebookLM**.
4. Pick the target notebook and confirm.

## Limits to know

- NotebookLM must be able to reach the link. Pages behind a login will fail as link sources.
- A link already in the target notebook is flagged before it is added again.
- Google's own limits still apply: sources per notebook, file size and accepted file types are decided by NotebookLM, and Pro does not raise them.
