[Ask us](#contact). ### Does highlight and send work on every website? It works wherever you can select text on a normal web page. No extension can read pages that the browser protects, such as the new tab page. ### Why does the menu say NotebookLM? Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook on July 16, 2026. Both names mean the same product. Kortex's menus still have the old name. ### How do I save the whole page instead? Open the Kortex side panel and use Import page. To keep the page as a PDF file, use Capture as PDF in the same card. See [full-page capture](/features/capture-full-page). ## Keep going [Highlight and send Select text on any page and right-click.
