NotebookBloom: Citation export starts one click earlier than most people expect

I changed my priorities after watching where people actually got stuck.

When citation export says nothing is selected, the missing step is usually inside NotebookLM rather than the export format.

• Click the citation number in the answer.
• Select the source passage that opens.
• Then export it as BibTeX, APA, MLA, or Chicago.

The tool can format the citation you selected, but it should not guess which source you meant.

A two-step visual guide is more useful than an accurate but vague “nothing selected” error.

I am curious how other builders decide when onboarding guidance is more valuable than another feature.
