Gemini Notebooks Adds Review Step for Slide Decks, Video
Google's new Review toggle lets users check outline notes for slides and producer notes for video before Gemini renders the output.
Google has added customization controls to Gemini Notebooks that pause before generating Slide Decks and Video Overviews and let users direct the output, according to xda-developers.com. The update was announced on October 19, 2026.
The feature suggests topics based on the user's sources and lets the user choose which points the assets cover. A new Review toggle also lets users review outline notes for slides or producer notes for video and give feedback before rendering.
Users who prefer to skip the back-and-forth can disable the Review toggle, allowing Gemini to generate without interruption.
