Then pick a notebook. ## What does Highlight and send do? Highlight and send saves the text you select on any web page as a source in a Gemini Notebook notebook. Right-click the selection, choose Send highlight to NotebookLM, and pick a notebook. The source keeps the page address and the date. ## What you get - ### Keep the quote, not the whole page A paragraph from a long article becomes its own small source. Gemini Notebook cites that passage, not a page full of other text. - ### It works on any site The page does not need a Kortex button. If you can select the text, you can send it. - ### The origin stays attached Each source holds the page address and the date and time you saved it. You can always find where a quote came from. - ### The right notebook, suggested A small window opens. It marks the notebook that fits the text best as Suggested. It has a search box for the others. ## What does a highlight become? When you send a selection, Kortex creates one text source in the notebook you pick. The source contains the page address, the date and time you saved it, and the full text you selected. Its title is the first eight words of the selection, then three dots. A long list of highlights stays easy to read in the source panel. The right-click entry is called **Send highlight to NotebookLM**. Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook on July 16, 2026. Kortex’s menus still use the old name. It is the same product. ## How do I pick a notebook? After you click, a small window opens. It lists your notebooks with a search box and marks the best fit as Suggested. Kortex works that out on your computer from the page title and the words you selected. **Create New Notebook** makes a notebook named \[SNIPPETS\] plus the page’s title. ## Highlight, page or chat Highlight and send is for a passage. To add the whole page you are reading, use the side panel’s **Import page**. To save a chat on ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, use the [Send AI chats](/features/send-ai-chats-to-notebook) button. X, Reddit and LinkedIn have [their own buttons](/features/import-social-posts). ## Why a passage beats a page A whole page has menus, ads and sections you did not read. When you send only the paragraph that matters, Gemini Notebook cites that paragraph. Answers stay on the point. The source list is easy to scan, because each entry starts with the words you chose. You need to be signed in. Kortex needs your account to save the highlight. If the window asks you to sign in, do it from the side panel and send the highlight again. ## How it works Want every step?
