## Frequently asked questions

### Can it keep a competitor notebook up to date?

Yes. Save a website or RSS import as a recipe; with Pro it checks on a schedule while Chrome is open. See [scheduled import recipes](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/import/scheduled-import-recipes-to-notebooklm).

### Can NotebookLM answers be trusted for this?

NotebookLM answers from the sources you give it and cites passages, which makes checking fast, but it can still misread a source. Open the cited passage for anything you will reuse, and keep the export as your record of what was checked.
