If you go to "notebooks" in the top menu you'll a button called "add a new notebook". If you have more than one, then the "add to notebook" buttons work differently: they open a little window that lets you choose which notebooks to add the lesson to. You can also then create new notebooks on the fly there, which is very handy.
