Export File Content Limitations
Currently, files exported to PowerPoint are in image format (non-editable images) rather than editable text fields. You should finalize your text changes within NotebookLM before exporting.
Advantages of the Specific Edit Feature
Unlike previous versions, NotebookLM now allows you to modify specific slides individually without having to regenerate the entire presentation, which avoids unwanted changes to the overall look and feel.
