NotebookLM Tools source folders with drag-and-drop organization
Source Folders

Organize sources into drag-and-drop folders

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.

  • Drag-and-drop folders - group up to 50 folders per notebook
  • Rename folders - adjust structure as your project evolves
  • Collapse and expand - hide folders you don't need right now
  • Bulk-move sources - reorganize multiple sources at once
  • Persistent layout - folder structure saves automatically
On-Page Toolbar

Export, copy, merge, and rename NotebookLM sources on the notebook page

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.

  • Export sources - choose the sources, then ZIP (Markdown files) or JSON; the file lands in your browser downloads
  • Copy to notebook - copy into an existing notebook you can edit or a new one; nothing is moved or deleted
  • Merge sources - combine several sources into one new source; the originals are untouched
  • Rename sources - Replace text or Add text across many sources, with a preview before you apply
  • Duplicate counter - More shows how many sources share a URL, YouTube video, or Drive file as soon as the notebook loads
  • Export Studio - jump to the extension's Studio tab and download audio, video, reports, quizzes, and more as one ZIP
  • Generate outputs and Open - deep links into the extension for this notebook, marked with an arrow
  • Floating NLM Tools button - if the toolbar can't attach after a NotebookLM layout change, the same actions stay one click away

Public & Shared Notebooks

Export and copy sources from public NotebookLM notebooks you can open

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.

  • Export sources - save a public notebook's sources as JSON or a ZIP of Markdown files, picking exactly which ones
  • Copy to notebook - copy supported sources into an existing or new notebook you can edit, right on the page
  • Studio items - browse a public notebook's outputs in the extension and download them as a ZIP
  • 'Public notebooks you've viewed' - a list on the Notebooks page that gets you back to notebooks you've opened
  • Tags and collections - tag public notebooks or file them into collections; they show on the Tags and Collections pages
  • Read-only by design - on view-only notebooks, adding, generating, renaming, and deleting are disabled, with a banner
  • Clear errors - if a notebook can't load, the toolbar says why (no access, not found, or error) and offers Retry where possible
Studio Generation
NEW

Generate NotebookLM studio items in batches — presets, saved prompts, one item per topic

Create Audio, Quiz, Flashcards, Report, Slide Deck, Data Table, Mind Map, Video, and Infographic from one panel — with presets and saved prompts in every instructions box, and with Pro, several types at once, one item per topic from a list, or the same preset on up to 20 notebooks.

  • Generate 9 studio item types directly
  • Customize format, length, style, and difficulty
  • Select specific sources or use all notebook sources
  • Set the output language for the run - quizzes and flashcards follow it too; slide decks offer Default and Short
  • Instructions for all types, plus a box for each type - when you generate several types at once (Pro), write what they share once, then add what only one type needs
  • Generate multiple types at once with live progress (Pro)
  • 'Also Generate' — trigger generation while adding sources
  • AI usage meter - see how much of your Gemini Notebook limit a generation will use, and when the window resets
  • Generate now or later - what doesn't fit the limit is generated after the reset. It's your Google plan's limit, not one set by the extension
  • Presets - save the types, options, and instructions you picked under a name and load them in one click; up to 30, free; sources are picked each time, and the language is saved only if you tick Save language; the two built-in starters, Study pack and Listen and review, each make several types, so running one needs Pro; presets travel with Export, Import, and backups
  • Saved prompts in Generate - click Insert prompt or type / in any instructions box and save what you wrote with the bookmark; starter prompts for quizzes, flashcards, reports, audio, and data tables are included and can be hidden
  • One item per line - put {{topic}} in your instructions and list one topic per line to get one quiz, report, audio, or other item per topic in a single run; up to 10 items per run in all (topics times the types that use them), and more than one line needs Pro
  • Generate in several notebooks (Pro) - on the Notebooks page, select up to 20 notebooks, pick a preset, and run it on all of them; up to 100 items in one run
  • Interactive or Document reports - choose the report type; for a Document report, describe your own with Create Your Own or start from a template and edit it
  • A result for each item - after a run of several items (Pro), see what was created, scheduled for later, or failed and why; retry one item or Retry failed only
  • How it was made - audio, video, reports, quizzes, flashcards, and infographics show the options, language, and instructions they were made with (not yet slide decks, data tables, or mind maps), and the Studio search finds words in the instructions too
NotebookLM Tools Generate panel — presets, saved prompts via Insert prompt, instructions for all types, one item per line with {{topic}}, and a Report with the Interactive or Document format
Collections
