Limits to know before you export

- Editing the conversation in a preview before export is a Pro option.
Can NotebookLM export chat history on its own?
Gemini Notebook saves your chat history but has no export button for it. On its own you can only copy a reply or save it as a note, and inline citations are lost when you copy. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
