Partly. NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) can send notes and reports to Google Docs, data tables to Google Sheets, and download slides, flashcards, infographics, audio and video one at a time. It cannot export chat history, mind maps as editable files, several items at once, or a whole notebook. A browser extension such as NotebookLM Ultra Exporter covers those.

## What to know

- Built-in exports go to Google apps or download a single file.
- There is no built-in Word, Markdown or LaTeX download for notes.
- There is no built-in export for the chat, and no backup of a notebook.
