Quick answer
How to export a quiz from Gemini Notebook to Markdown
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, choose Markdown and set whether answer information should appear in the file. Finally, download the .md file and review its lists, equations and answer sections in your Markdown editor.
Why export it?
Why export?
Copying quiz text into a knowledge base often loses consistent numbering and answer-choice structure. Markdown creates a readable, versionable source file without editor-specific formatting.
Native option check
Can Gemini Notebook handle this export natively?
Qualifying Gemini Notebook chat plans can generate Markdown files, but the Studio quiz itself does not provide a general Markdown download. The extension converts the completed quiz artifact directly.
