Sharing a notebook requires the other person to have a Google account and open NotebookLM. To send the content itself, export it as a file: a PDF or Word document for reading, an offline HTML page for quizzes and flashcards, or a PowerPoint deck. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter creates all of these.

## What to know

- PDF is the safest format for people who only need to read.
- Offline HTML quizzes and flashcards work in any browser without an account.
- Remove anything confidential before sending; a file can be forwarded.

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

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I publish a notebook publicly?

Public sharing options are controlled by Google and vary by account type. An exported file is independent of those settings.
