TL;DR<\/p>\n

Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) is rolling out Collections, a long-requested feature that lets you group related notebooks for easier organization.
\nCollections work like playlists or photo albums, offering a flexible alternative to traditional folders without changing how you use the app.
\nThe feature is rolling out gradually and is currently limited to personal organization, with no support for sharing Collections yet.<\/p>\n

Fresh off its rebrand from NotebookLM, Gemini Notebook<\/a> is getting one of its most useful quality-of-life upgrades yet. Google has started rolling out Collections<\/a>, a feature that helps you organize an ever-growing library of notebooks instead of leaving everything piled into one long list.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to think about Collections is like playlists on Spotify or albums in Google Photos<\/a>. You can group related notebooks however you like, whether that\u2019s work projects, holiday planning, recipes, or research. Give each topic its own space, and finding what you need becomes much quicker.<\/p>\n

What makes this even better is that Google hasn\u2019t forced users into a traditional folder system. Collections are much more flexible. A notebook can belong to multiple collections if it makes sense, or you can ignore the feature altogether and stick with the familiar My Notebooks view. It\u2019s the kind of approach that keeps things organized without adding unnecessary complexity.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been hoping Google would add something like this for quite a while, and I know I\u2019m not the only one. With its growing usefulness, Gemini Notebook has quickly become a place where many people store everything from research papers to brainstorming sessions. The downside is that your notebook list can become very overwhelming. Collections fix that without changing how the app works.<\/p>\n

For now, there is one limitation. You can\u2019t share Collections with other people, so they\u2019re purely for organizing your own workspace. Even so, I\u2019d rather have this version today than wait months for Google to build a more ambitious alternative. It feels like a solid first step and, hopefully, a sign that more highly requested features are on the way.<\/p>\n

The feature is already live on my account, and I\u2019ve started using it to separate work from personal research. Google appears to be rolling it out gradually, though, so if you don\u2019t see Collections just yet, don\u2019t panic. There\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s still making its way to more users and should become available much more widely over the coming days.<\/p>\n
