The tutorial and the docs walk through it. ## Does Kortex work with multiple Google accounts? Yes. If you use more than one Google account with Gemini Notebook, the Kortex Workspace has a Notebooks from switch. The side panel shows your account in its header. You see one account's notebooks at a time. ## What you get - ### Work and personal, kept apart Each account's notebooks show on their own. Switching changes the whole table. You never search the wrong account. - ### One switch in the Workspace Notebooks from is at the bottom of the sidebar. The page says which account you are looking at with Showing notebooks from and the email. - ### The side panel follows too The panel's header shows your Gemini Notebook account when you use more than one. Its Notebooks tab lists that account's notebooks. - ### Nothing to set up Kortex lists the Google accounts it finds for Gemini Notebook. You do not add anything by hand. ## Why is there an account switch? Gemini Notebook belongs to the Google account you are signed in with. If you use a work account and a personal one, each has its own notebooks. Kortex keeps them apart. It shows one account’s notebooks at a time. ## In the Kortex Workspace Open the Workspace from the dashboard button in the side panel’s header. At the bottom of the sidebar, under your email, is **Notebooks from**. It shows when you use more than one Google account with Gemini Notebook. Choose an account. Kortex says **Switching account**, then **Showing notebooks from** the email you picked. Each account in the list shows its email, and Kortex marks the default one. ## In the side panel The side panel’s header shows your Gemini Notebook account when you use more than one. The Notebooks tab then lists that account’s notebooks, with its collections as filters. ## Your Kortex account Switching Google accounts does not sign you out of Kortex. You stay signed in to your Kortex account. Only the notebooks on screen change. ## What if an account is missing? Kortex lists the accounts it finds. It says **No accounts found** if there are none. Press **Ctrl+R** in the Workspace to refresh the data and look again. ## What you will see The switch is a list of the accounts Kortex has found, each shown with its email. The default one is marked. Pick one and the tables reload for it. If you only use one Google account, you will not see the switch at all. Nothing else changes. The Workspace also tells you where you are. After a switch, the page reads **Showing notebooks from** and the email address. You never have to guess which account you are looking at. ## How it works Want every step?
