Export Chat

Export Chat copies or saves your Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) conversation, all of it or only the answers you pick. You can save it as Markdown, HTML, plain text, PDF or JSON.

Why export a chat?

A good chat with your sources is worth keeping. Copy puts it on your clipboard, which is like a short-term memory for text, ready to paste anywhere. Export saves it as a file.

How to copy a chat

1. Open a notebook with a chat.
2. In the Kortex bar, in the Chat group, click Copy.
3. The button says Copied!. Paste the chat where you like.

If the chat is empty, the button says No Chat!.

How to export a chat

1. Click Export. A menu opens.
2. Use the two switches. Include User Turns keeps your own questions. Include Sources keeps the source marks.
3. Pick a format: Markdown, HTML, Plain Text, PDF or JSON. The file is saved to your computer.

Pick only the answers you want

Under each answer in the chat there is a small checkbox.

1. Tick the box under an answer you want to keep. Tick as many as you like.
2. The buttons change to Copy Selected and Export Selected, with a number in brackets.
3. Click either one. Only the answers you ticked are copied or saved, as a short briefing.

Untick a box to take an answer out. Your ticks stay until you reload the page.

Preview & Edit before exporting

This needs Kortex Pro. See pricing. It lets you read and change the text before it is saved.

1. Click Export, then Preview & Edit.
2. Pick a format.
3. A window opens. On the left you can change the text. On the right you see how it will look. The top shows the file's format and name.
4. Click Export to save it, or Cancel to stop.

Good to know

• Copy has no daily limit.
• Exports count toward your exports. The free plan has 10 a day. Kortex Pro has no limit.
