Known limits
Export boundaries and fixes
Clear limits build trust. These are the cases to check before running large exports.
NotebookLM page access is required
Exports require an open NotebookLM page where your browser can access the notebook content.
Sign in to NotebookLM, open the target notebook, refresh the page, and retry the export.
Large bulk exports can take time
Bulk runs depend on NotebookLM response speed, notebook count, and selected output formats.
Keep the bulk export page open until the run completes and retry failed items from the workflow.
Imports depend on source page availability
AI chat and webpage import quality depends on what the browser can read from the active source page.
Use highlight import for precise passages when a full page contains navigation, comments, or unrelated content.
