My question wasn't answered

Sometimes Gemini Notebook can’t answer your question because of:

  • Safety flags: The content of your source contains language that triggers a safety flag. This occurs with sensitive topics like violence, sexuality, or obscenity, even in historical contexts.
  • Unclear phrases: When your notebook contains many sources, Gemini Notebook retrieves the most relevant information based on your question, then builds a response from it. A specific question helps Gemini Notebook locate the most relevant pieces of information.
    • Tip: Make your question more precise and understandable.
  • Information not in sources: Gemini Notebook answers questions based on the information provided in your uploaded sources. If the answer isn't in the source material, it won't provide a response.

Why does the share menu show a lock icon?

While a notebook isn't shared with anyone the lock icon will appear indicating the notebook is private. It changes to the shared icon when the notebook is shared individually with users, and a globe icon when the notebook is publicly shared.
