Release2026-10-21

Gemini Notebook now offers a step-by-step creation flow for Slide Decks and Video Overviews. It suggests focus topics, formats, and visual styles based on user sources. Users can provide specific instructions to pre-fill selections. A Review toggle lets users preview outlines or producer notes before final output. Users can still generate outputs immediately without the review step. The feature is available to all Google Workspace customers and personal account users. Rollout began on October 16, 2026, with gradual visibility over 15 days. Admins have no control over this feature.
