## Good to know

Import a short quiz first. Canvas question banks and New Quizzes handle QTI slightly differently.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Canvas, and nothing is sent to Canvas until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in Canvas integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Canvas. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Canvas reads (QTI ZIP), then import or open it there.

### Does this work with Canvas New Quizzes?

Canvas imports QTI packages for both quiz engines, but conversion details differ. Review the questions after import.

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to Canvas?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
