As your notebooks multiply, locating specific workspaces can become challenging. Having a folder hierarchy similar to Google Drive is extremely helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several third-party Chrome extensions address this need. Among them, the most intuitive and user-friendly tool is <strong>&#8220;Bookshelf&#8221; (Bookshelf for NotebookLM)<\/strong>. It enables folder creation (Bookshelves) and drag-and-drop workspace management.
