Quick answer
How to export flashcards from Gemini Notebook to CSV
First, use NotebookLM's built-in CSV download for the simplest route, or install the NotebookLM Exporter extension for the same export menu used by other artifacts. Next, open NotebookLM Studio, select the flashcard set and wait for the card canvas to load. Locate NotebookLM's Download control or the extension's Export ▾ button at the top of the canvas. Then, choose CSV. Finally, download the file and check the Front and Back columns, UTF-8 characters and multiline definitions in Excel or Google Sheets.
Why export it?
Why export?
A spreadsheet copy makes it easier to review duplicates, shorten answers, sort cards and prepare a deck for another system. CSV exposes each flashcard as a front-and-back row.
Native option check
Can Gemini Notebook handle this export natively?
Gemini Notebook already provides a native flashcard CSV download. Use it when a basic CSV is all you need; the extension is optional for this destination and mainly adds consistency with its other export formats.
