How to export a quiz from Gemini Notebook to CSV
First, install the NotebookLM Exporter Chrome extension linked on this page. Next, open NotebookLM Studio, select the completed quiz and wait for the canvas to load. Locate the Export ▾ button at the top of the quiz canvas. Then, open the menu, choose CSV and set the available answer-information option. Finally, download the CSV and inspect its headers, encoding and question rows in Excel or Google Sheets before importing it elsewhere.
Why export it?
Why export?
A quiz trapped in an interactive viewer cannot be filtered, checked in bulk or mapped into another database. CSV exposes the question data as rows and columns that spreadsheet users and migration scripts can inspect.
Native option check
Can Gemini Notebook handle this export natively?
Gemini Notebook provides native CSV download for flashcards, not a general CSV export for completed quiz artifacts. The extension adds a quiz-specific spreadsheet output.

What people need to know before using this export
Can Excel open the exported quiz?
Yes. CSV opens in Excel and other spreadsheet tools, although you should verify character encoding and multiline content.
Can I import this CSV into any quiz platform?
Not automatically. Platforms use different column templates. Compare the exported headers with the destination's required import format and transform them if needed.

Choose JSON when software needs nested structured data. Choose CSV when people will inspect or edit the quiz in a spreadsheet.
