For one note or report, use the built-in option in its menu to send it to Google Docs. For chats, several notes, or anything the built-in option does not cover, export a Word file with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter and open it in Google Docs, which converts .docx files on upload.

## What to know

- The built-in route creates a new Doc in the Drive of the signed-in account.
- A Word export keeps headings, tables and footnotes when opened in Docs.
- For a single combined Doc from many notes, use merged export.

> Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the built-in export keep citations?

Check the Doc after export; citation handling has changed between NotebookLM versions. An exported Word file can convert citations to footnotes.
