The notebook detail page shows one Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) notebook in the Kortex dashboard. It has tabs for the notebook's sources, notes and Studio outputs, and buttons to open the notebook, generate content and add more sources.

## Why use this page?

Think of a notebook as a binder. This page opens the binder and lays everything out on the table: every page you put in, your own notes, and the summaries and audio made from them.

## How do I open it?

1. Open [All Notebooks](/docs/all-notebooks).
1. Click a notebook's name.
1. Click **Back** at the top left to return to the table.

## The top buttons

- **Open** (the green button): opens the notebook in Gemini Notebook.
- **Generate**: makes something new from the sources you tick.
- **Add**: puts something into the notebook.
- **AUDIOS**: lists the notebook's Audio Overviews. The number is how many it has.
- **Manage**: rename, duplicate, download sources, remove from a collection, delete sources or delete the notebook.

Under the buttons is a **Quick Memo** box. Type a quick thought about the notebook and it is kept there.

## The sources list

Each row is one source, such as a PDF or a web page. It shows the source's tags. On the right are small icons. The eye opens a preview. The others edit, download or delete the source. Tick sources to choose which ones the Generate menu uses.

### Preview a source

Click the eye icon. A window opens where you can read the source, highlight parts and add notes.

For a brief or a study guide a window opens. It has instructions already filled in. You can change them. You can also choose the output language. Then click the green button, such as **Generate Briefing**.

### Pick a saved prompt

A prompt is the message you give to an AI. Click **Select from Library** in that window to choose one of your saved prompts instead of typing.

## Audio Overviews

An Audio Overview is a spoken talk about your sources, made by Gemini Notebook. Choose **AUDIOS** in the Generate menu to make one. The window asks for:

- The format: Deep Dive, Brief, Critique or Debate.
- The depth: Short or Standard. Deep Dive also has In-Depth.
- Which sources to use.
- The language, and instructions of your own if you like.

The **AUDIOS** button lists the audio the notebook already has and plays it.

## The Notes tab

Click **Notes** at the top right. It keeps your own notes next to the sources. The list is on the left and the open note is on the right. Click **+ New Note** to write one.

## The Artifacts tab

An artifact is anything Studio made from your sources, such as an audio, a briefing or a quiz. Click **Artifacts** to see them. Each one has buttons to play, view, copy or download it.
