Here’s what’s new at NotebookLM.
Slide updates
Google has introduced a much-wanted feature for NotebookLM users for the slide deck. Previously, once a slide was created, there wasn’t much you could do with it — it was a static image. Now, that has changed. You can make updates to the slides by simply ordering what you would like to change.
The feature allows you to review your slides and request specific changes to as many as you like. Once you’ve made edit requests, you can create a brand new deck, and the changes will be there.
Currently, you can’t manually arrange individual elements in slides — just recreate them — but this is one step closer to that possible future.
The ability to review slides is available to all users over the age of 18.
New infographic styles
If you like to visualize your data, you might enjoy playing around with NotebookLM’s ability to create infographics. There are now 10 different options to choose from, so you can fine-tune the look and format of the story you’re trying to tell. Options include drawing notes, clay, tutorials and more. If you do not specify a style, NotebookLM will automatically select one based on your sources.
These new infographic styles are available to all users over the age of 18.
Flash card quizzes and updates
A few revisions to the quizzes and flashcards improve the overall experience. Individual questions and flashcards can be deleted, progress is saved for each session and you can mark each question as “got” or “missed” so you know where to focus when you come back for the second quiz. Improvements have also been made to the results page after you complete the quiz for a better viewing experience.
Quiz updates and flashcards are now available to all users.

NotebookLM supports different types of files to be created as sources, and gains another option: EPUB. A common open source file type for ebooks can now be uploaded as a resource, bringing a very useful new option for working with an AI tool.
Additionally, slide decks can now be exported in PPTX format, so notebookLM-generated decks can be opened with Microsoft PowerPoint.
Create right in the chat
NotebookLM now allows you to create artifacts directly from a conversation. This means you can create audio overviews, reports, infographics and more based on your existing conversation with Gemini without manually opening the studio tab.
