Create up to 50 folders per notebook to group related sources. Drag and drop to reorganize, rename as your project evolves, and collapse to focus.
A toolbar on every notebook page — Export sources · Export Studio · Copy to notebook · More · Open — so the common jobs happen in a panel on the page instead of the side panel. Free for everyone.


Open a public or link-shared notebook in NotebookLM and the toolbar still shows up — with a 'Not in your library' chip and the read-only set of tools: Export sources, Export Studio, Copy to notebook, and Open.
Collections are NotebookLM's built-in way to group notebooks — a notebook can belong to several. NotebookLM Tools adds the full management layer: a Manage Collections page, bulk assignment, filters, and a one-click tag converter. All free.


One search bar to find any notebook or source. Tabbed results, source type filtering, text highlighting, and pagination.
Save up to 100 prompts and trigger any of them instantly with /slash commands. Organize by category, edit over time, and stop retyping instructions.


Audio Overviews, Study Guides, Flashcards, Quizzes, Videos, Mind Maps, Infographics, Slide Decks, Data Tables, Reports, Notes, and Custom Files — all viewable inline with full interactivity.
Create Audio, Quiz, Flashcards, Report, Slide Deck, Data Table, Mind Map, Video, and Infographic without switching to NotebookLM's native UI.


No more adding sources one at a time. NotebookLM Tools lets you work with multiple sources at once, saving you time and effort.

Local tags, native collections, and powerful filtering help you find and manage notebooks effortlessly.
Switch between grid and table views, sort and search notebooks, and see permission badges and source counts on every card.

Connect multiple Google accounts and switch between them without logging out. A NotebookLM tab acts as the connected account it's signed in as, even if your active account differs — and output language is remembered per account.

Choose the look that fits your workflow. The extension panel supports dark, light, and system themes so it stays comfortable alongside NotebookLM.


Detect when Google Drive documents have changed since they were added. Visual badges highlight outdated sources, and one-click sync brings everything current.
Export your tags, prompts, folders, and settings as JSON or ZIP. Restore selectively when switching devices or browsers.

Switch languages instantly with support for 80+ languages worldwide.


Scan notebooks for audio, play with a persistent Now Playing bar, and download for offline listening.
Pro users create Quiz + Flashcards + Slides + Report simultaneously. One click, live progress, all done while you keep working.
