Workflowy accepts OPML pasted into a list. Export a NotebookLM mind map as OPML with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, which is free, open the file in a text editor, copy its contents and paste them into Workflowy to get nested bullets.

## Quick facts

## Steps

2. In NotebookLM, export the content in a format Workflowy accepts (see the table below).
3. Open the .opml file in a text editor and copy all of it.
4. Paste into a Workflowy bullet; the hierarchy is recreated.

## Good to know

A Markdown outline pasted into Workflowy also nests correctly if it uses indented lists.

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

## Frequently asked questions

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

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

### Is there a size limit?

Very large outlines can be slow to paste. Export one branch at a time for big maps.

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

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