NotebookLM lists notebooks in one flat grid and has no folders of its own. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter adds collections, which behave like folders, plus tags and up to 5 pinned notebooks. Open the workspace, choose Edit collections and tags on a notebook, and filter the list by collection. It is free.

## 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. Open the workspace from the extension icon.
3. Select a notebook and choose **Edit collections and tags**.
4. Create a collection, add the notebook, then filter the list by that collection.

## What to know

- A notebook can sit in a collection and carry several tags.
- Collections and tags are stored by the extension in your browser, not in your Google account.
- An automation rule can file notebooks automatically by tag or title keyword.

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