- A leak suggests Google may add options to show creator avatars, names, and custom summaries on NotebookLM notebooks.
- The features would give creators more control over how their shared projects appear.
- The changes could also hint at future discovery features for user-created notebooks.
Google’s popular NotebookLM tool already lets you share notebooks publicly with a simple link, in the same way you might share a Google Doc. However, finding other people’s projects still isn’t really part of the experience. A new leak hints that this could potentially change in the future. Newly spotted customization options suggest NotebookLM may soon let creators display more personal identifiers, hinting at discoverable user projects down the line.
According to an X post from TestingCatalog, Google appears to be experimenting with new settings that let notebook creators show their avatar and creator name, plus replace the automatically generated notebook summary with their own description. A screenshot shared in the post shows toggles for all three potential features. A couple of weeks ago, the same tipster spotted Google testing banner images for notebooks — another feature designed to make projects easier to recognize at a glance.
