I've been contacted by someone from AppsEDU inviting us to trial workspaceaudit.com. It looks interesting, but its a new product (AppsEDU has been rebranded from Appsevents, which has been a Google Edu partner (apparently) for 14 years prior).Has any...

NotebookLM notebooks still can't be shared outside the domain. Google Workspace came through recently by letting us manually delete Gemini chats, so I'm really hoping they hear us on this too! We need an Admin Console setting to manage NotebookLM sha...
