## Good to know

RIS is the reliable route for EndNote. BibTeX needs an extra import filter.

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

## Frequently asked questions

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

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

### Why are some fields empty in EndNote?

NotebookLM exposes titles and links but not authors or dates, so those fields must be completed by hand or with EndNote Find Reference Updates.

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

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