Add source from tab of drive document

When I add a gsheets document as source from tab, it appears like Google Sheets:sign-in and notebooklm can´t access to the file.

Ok, but I can´t see the Drive access option: text, links, Playlist, RSS, tabs, ZIP.

You can click Open in NotebookLM and add source

That method isn't supported. "Add from tab" imports the page by URL, and NotebookLM opens it without your Google login — so a private Sheet just shows the sign-in page, which is what got saved. Instead, add it through the Google Drive option in the source picker. That uses your Drive access so NotebookLM can read the file directly. Make sure your app is up to date too, since native Sheets support is fairly recent.
