I totally agree! This feature is one that I've been looking for the moment I encountered notebook alert, because some sources are relevant to different notebooks. The redundancy in selecting going to every notebook and re-uploading the same source over and over again is too much. Having a feature to copy or move a particular source or number of sources from one notebook to the other is a very good feature that I really support. I hope that developers will take this into consideration and implement it for us. I would be very much grateful!

When I try multiple delete or delete a checkmarked source, extension hangs for me (chrome on macos)

I agree. Checkmark and copy sources or folders would be a great help.

I think it's better to have a copy source only because somehow the move will lose user data. Second, for the copy source, we will copy the content of the source as text, or if it is a URL, we will copy it to another notebook (which means it does not support copying files or Google Drive sources will disconnect in the new notebook). It's hard to manage. Keep it simple What do you think? Any ideas are welcome 🙏
