NotebookLM cannot transfer ownership of a notebook. You can share it with the other account, which leaves the original owner in control, or rebuild it there. To rebuild, archive the notebook with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, switch accounts, and use Restore archive (Pro) to create a new notebook from the ZIP.

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. In the old account, archive the notebook as a ZIP.
3. Switch the browser to the new Google account and open NotebookLM.
4. Open the import center, choose restore archive, select the ZIP and confirm.

## What to know

- Restore re-adds sources from their links or archived text and restores notes.
- Reports, chats and Studio text come back as text sources, not as native Studio items.
- Audio, video and slide images are not recreated.

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

## Frequently asked questions

### Is sharing enough?

If the old account will stay active, yes. If you are leaving a school or employer, the notebook goes with the account, so rebuild it.
