Google Gemini Notebook Introduces Review Toggle for Slide and Video Outputs
Users can now inspect and edit outlines for slides and videos before final rendering, offering greater creative control over AI-generated content.
Key points
- Google adds a review toggle to Gemini Notebook for slides and video overviews.
- Users can edit content structure and visual style before artifacts are generated.
- The feature rolls out globally to all users over the upcoming week.
Google has introduced new co-creation capabilities in Gemini Notebook that allow users to review and edit outlines before slides and video overviews are rendered. According to a blog post from Google, this update responds to user feedback requesting more creative control throughout the content creation process.
The new workflow prevents the AI from jumping directly from an initial prompt to a final output. Instead, Gemini Notebook suggests topics based on user sources. Users can confirm these topics and then steer the content, guiding visual style and format before the final artifact is produced.
Enhanced Control via Review Toggle
A key addition is the new Review toggle, which allows users to inspect plans in the studio panel before generation. For slide decks, users can click “Review outline notes,” while video creators can select “Review producer notes.” This step enables users to provide specific feedback, such as requesting an executive summary or swapping scene order, before selecting “Proceed” to produce the final artifact.
Users who already know their desired output can specify details in their initial prompt to bypass the suggestion phase and go straight to the review flow. This direct path ensures that those with clear requirements can still utilize the editing capabilities without unnecessary intermediate steps.
User Flexibility and Rollout
Google states that these capabilities are designed to offer flexibility based on user preference. If a user prefers a quick output, they can still skip the review toggle in the studio panel and have Notebook generate artifacts as usual. This maintains the original speed of the tool while offering a deeper editing layer for those who need it.
The update is rolling out globally to all Gemini Notebook users over the upcoming week. According to Google, this rollout ensures that all users gain access to the new co-creation features. The company emphasizes that the changes are based on direct feedback from users who wanted more influence over the final product.
