All Notebooks

All Notebooks is one table of every notebook you have in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), and it is where the Kortex dashboard opens. You can search all your NotebookLM notebooks here, then filter, sort, tag and act on many at once.

Why use All Notebooks?​

Imagine a filing cabinet where every folder is on one long shelf, with its label, its size and its date. You can find any notebook in a moment, and you can tidy many at once.

Reading the table​

Each row is one notebook. The columns show its name, how many sources it holds, its tags, its collections and the dates. A yellow mark on the left means you starred it as a favorite. Click a notebook's name to open its page. See Notebook Detail.

  1. Click the small magnifying glass at the right of the toolbar, or press /.
  2. Type part of a name.

The big Search everything... box at the top looks through notebooks, sources, notes and more at once.

Search everything finds notebooks, podcasts and sources as you type

How to filter​

  1. Click Filter in the toolbar.
  2. Choose to narrow by name, tag or highlight.

Each filter stays above the table as a small pill. Click a pill to remove it.

How to sort​

Choose your columns​

Rows and density​

The bottom of the table says how many rows are selected. Rows per page lets you choose how many rows to see. The arrows move to the next page. To fit more rows on screen, press Ctrl+K and choose compact rows.

Tags​

A tag is a short label, like a sticky note, that you put on a notebook. Click the tags in a row to add or remove tags. You can search the tags, make a new one or change its colour.

What if something goes wrong?​

If the table is empty, it says so and points you to Gemini Notebook to make your first notebook. If a notebook you just made is missing, press Ctrl+R to refresh.
