After we rolled out an update last week with several enhancements to Zoho Notebook, we got several requests from users asking us to further enhance the app with some specific features. We now updated Zoho Notebook with some of these new features which we think you’ll find them useful.
The key new features in this update include…
- New Zoho Notebook Plug-in (beta)
- Google Notebook Import
- New Text Page
Let us look at each of these in detail.
New Zoho Notebook Plug-in (beta)
We completely redid the Firefox plug-in for Zoho Notebook. The new Firefox plug-in is available here. After you install the new plug-in, you’ll see the Notebook icon appear in the bottom right corner of the status bar. Clicking on the icon, you can view all your existing notebooks or create a new notebook, add a page and add text within the page. The content added to the plug-in will automatically be synchronized to the online version of Zoho Notebook.
To aggregate content from external sites, just select the text, right click and choose the ‘Add to Zoho Notebook’ option. This will add the content to your Notebook which will be visible in the plug-in.
Currently, the plug-in displays text-only content. If you have other types of content in your existing Notebooks (like video, audio, embeds etc),you’ll not be able to view these in the plug-in. The plug-in will work when you don’t have Zoho Notebook open in your browser.
The new plug-in also has the option to take screenshots of web pages and upload these images directly to Zoho Notebook Page. You can also take screenshots of portions of web pages and have them automatically uploaded to Zoho Notebook. To take screenshots, you need to have Zoho Notebook opened in one of the browser tabs. You can then right click on any web page and take a screenshot.
Please note that this new plug-in is currently in beta. We’d love to hear your feedback on this for further improvements.
Google Notebook Import
Last week we received several requests from many users asking us to import Notebooks from Google Notebook. We think we have come up with a great way to import your Google Notebooks into Zoho Notebook in three easy steps and less than five minutes. After you login to Zoho Notebook, you’ll see an ‘Import Google Notebooks’ option on the top right. Click on this link will get you started.
Here are the three steps to import your Google Notebooks
- Install our new Zoho Notebook Plugin (the one I mentioned above) and restart your browser
- Login to Zoho and Google Notebook
- Go to this URL – chrome://zoho-notebook/content/g2z.html – and click on Start
This should import all your Notebooks to Zoho Notebook.
We hope this works for you. We are looking forward to your feedback.
New Text Page
Some of you have asked us to provide a simpler/familiar way to add text notes in Zoho Notebook. To address the needs of Google Notebook users, we added a new page type called ‘Text Page’ which essentially lets you add text to the page, ordered vertically. You can reorder the text objects in this page by dragging the text objects vertically. To add additional text to the page, use the ‘Add Text’ object on the left.
The content added to Notebook using the new plug-in will be added with this new page type.
We hope you’ll find these new changes useful. We are looking forward to your feedback.

I’ve tried importing from Google Notebooks to Zoho and I get this message in red highlight:
“There is some problem in exporting ‘Mobile notes’ from Google.”
Seems like the problem has been around for a couple of years – anybody know what the solution was?
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, but the notebook did not work despite me download
I get firefox plugin recently, but when i want to open firefox it crashes because of plug in. Am i doing something wrong ?
I’ve got about a 600 graphics providers in my organization, and I could totally see them going for these. I’d make it available as kit, too, where you could put different stickers on to reflect their target client’s corporate colors.
possibility of sharing and social solidarity at a level just fine possibility of sharing and social solidarity at a level just fine
I can’t see the Import Google Notes command on the Zoho Notebook application. site is great perfect thanks…
There is some problem in exporting ‘Mobile notes’ from Google…
On a netbook, screen real estate is a premium, and “Zoho Notebook” takes up too much of it.
I then overrode my Google Login Id with a 20 digit number that I obtained from exporting one Google Notebook manually as an Atom XML document and looking at the download URL. This helped me since I had about 20 – 30 Notebooks to import.that’s right,I agree with you

Tags? What about tags? Google Notebook allows the user to add tags to each note/clipping/bookmark, making it much easier to browse through notes.
Search? What about a search feature? Google Notebook allows the user to search within his notebooks for a particular note.
Can these two features please be included with Zoho?

A purely or stylistic comment on the notebook plugin for firefox – any way there could be a preference to make it display the icon only in the statusbar? On a netbook, screen real estate is a premium, and “Zoho Notebook” takes up too much of it.
I started using Zoho and already in love with it. I even published an article in my blog recently. Here is the link.

I had a problem using the Google Notebook importer. I was able to solve it using Venkman’s Javascript Debugger and placing a breakpoint in g2z.js at line 60 where “login” is set. I then overrode my Google Login Id with a 20 digit number that I obtained from exporting one Google Notebook manually as an Atom XML document and looking at the download URL. This helped me since I had about 20 – 30 Notebooks to import.
So far so good and I really like Zoho’s Notebook helper. Well done Zoho!

Import routine fails in my case while trying to import my old Google Bookmarks, visible in Google Notebook as “Unassigned Bookmarks” (or, rather “Nieprzypisane Zakładki” as I use Polish version). I don’t want to import those but there does not seem to be a way to avoid them.
