Notebooks are the way you organize projects in NotebookLM. They are similar to how folders organize the files on your computer. Each notebook is totally separate, so NotebookLM can’t access information from multiple notebooks at the same time.
Sharing notebooks
You can share notebooks by opening a notebook and clicking the Share icon in the top-right corner of the screen. You can grant either Viewer or Editor access to another user by adding their email address.
- A viewer will have read-only access to all the source documents and notes you shared with them in the shared notebook
- An editor will be able to view, add, or remove sources and notes in your shared notebook as well as share it further with other users
- As a NotebookLM Plus user, notebook owner and editors can also share a "Chat-only" notebook to your viewers & set a welcome note for everyone who can access this notebook
Personal gmail accounts can share a notebook with up to 50 other individual users, but can't share with Google Groups.
Enterprise or EDU accounts (e.g. [email protected] or [email protected]) can share a notebook with an unlimited number of individual users and google groups within the same organization.
Usage analytics
NotebookLM Plus users can view the past-seven-day usage analytics of their notebooks by clicking on Analytics
- Currently two metrics are supported:
- Users per day: the number of users who made at least one query per day (incl. the owner)
- Queries per day: the number of queries made by the users per day (incl. the queries made by the owner)
- To see analytics, the notebook needs to be shared with at least 4 other users and have some chat activity within the past 7 days.
- Analytics update approximately every 24 hours.
