What’s changing
We're introducing a new “Learning Guide” option that encourages participation with probing, open-ended questions. Instead of just giving answers, it helps you break down problems step-by-step and adapts explanations to your needs, building a deeper understanding of the subject.

• This feature will be available based on the respective admin console settings: NotebookLM: Teachers and students must be in a group or OU with NotebookLM set to On. Use our Help Center to learn more about turning NotebookLM on or off for users.
  End users:
• This feature will be available by default if NotebookLM is enabled by your admin. Use our Help Center to learn more about using Notebook LM. See this blog post to learn about this and other ways Notebook LM can support your learning.
