QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
Can you export from NotebookLM?
Short answer
Partly. NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) can send notes and reports to Google Docs, data tables to Google Sheets, and download slides, flashcards, infographics, audio and video one at a time. It cannot export chat history, mind maps as editable files, several items at once, or a whole notebook. A browser extension such as NotebookLM Ultra Exporter covers those.
What to know
- Built-in exports go to Google apps or download a single file.
- There is no built-in Word, Markdown or LaTeX download for notes.
- There is no built-in export for the chat, and no backup of a notebook.
