## Frequently asked questions

### Can students see my notebook?

Only if you share it in NotebookLM. Exported files are ordinary documents you distribute however you like.

### 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.
