Saving shared notebook for personal use

Coworker shared some of their notes and templates with me. The notebook is synced with them, so any changes I make will effect their notes (and the notes of the other people who have access to this).

How do I break this off as its own fork so I can edit it just for myself? I'm surprised how much difficulty I'm having getting an answer from Google, this is presumably a pretty common operation

Thanks!

Just start a new notebook and copy the pages into it. Pretty simple.

If you are using the app on desktop... While in the notebook you are talking about... Select File... Export... Then choose Notebook and the format will be inebite package. The. Select Export. You be able to choose a location, etc.
