Source Views

Source Views save a search and a filter of the sources in a Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) notebook, plus which sources are ticked. Bring the view back later with one click from the Kortex bar.

The Saved views list open from the Kortex bar

Why save views?​

A view is like a bookmark for a way of looking at your sources. You might have a view called "Papers only" that shows only your PDFs. A notebook with many sources becomes easy to handle.

How to save a view​

  1. Open a notebook. Above your source list, use the search box and the filter buttons to narrow the list. See Source search.
  2. Tick the sources you want.
  3. Click the blue Save View button.
  4. Give the view a name and save it.

A view keeps your search, your filter and which sources are ticked.

How to use a view​

  1. In the Kortex bar, in the Sources group, click the third icon, the one that looks like a list.
  2. A list called Saved views opens. Each view shows its name and what it filters by.
  3. Type in Search views… to find one.
  4. Click a view. Your source list changes to match.

  • Your views follow you to your other computers.

Which filters can a view keep?​

A view can keep the type filter (All, PDFs, GDocs, Web, Text or YouTube) or a search, and which sources are ticked. The Basic plan can keep 5 saved views.
