How to I log into the tool using TXST credentials?
Log into Notebookusing your TXST NetID and password, just like you log into other campus services. You should log out of your personal account, if you have one, or use a separate web browser for your personal Google account.

I keep having to log into the tool. Why?
If you already have a personal account with Google (e.g., Gmail), you will now have multiple accounts and profiles: Your personal account with all of the Google products you've subscribed to, and your TXST account. The TXST account will contain services subscribed to by the university. Google services such as Google One, Google Drive, and Google Workspace are not included in the TXST version. You may wish to use a different browser - one for your personal Google account and another for your TXST account.
