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.
