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
NEW

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
Collections

Group notebooks into native, synced Collections

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.

  • Manage Collections page - create, rename, delete, and pick an emoji for each collection
  • Bulk assign - add notebooks to a collection, or replace their collections in one action
  • Multi-select filtering - combine collections, plus an 'Not in a collection' filter
  • Tags to Collections converter - turn your local tags into native collections in one click
  • Collection chips - see each notebook's collections right on the NotebookLM homepage, in grid and list view
  • Search integration - find notebooks by collection in cross-notebook search
  • CSV export column - collections included when you export your notebook list
  • Google-native and synced - collections live in your Google account and remain even without the extension

  • Category organization - group prompts by topic or workflow
