P.S. Help us build the future of Notion AI: open roles at Notion

It’s now easier for you to set up your team’s workspace with database-powered templates for managing projects, tracking meeting notes, and sharing docs. These templates come pre-configured with the database views, pages, and relations needed for your team to effectively manage their work in Notion.

These include:

• Three project management templates, to help you build a simple to-do list, manage your team’s projects and tasks, or break out your tasks into time-boxed sprints

• Meetings, so that your team can track all meeting notes and action items in one place

• Docs, so your team can easily find, document, and share information across your team.

In addition, our template gallery has been redesigned and updated so that it’s easier to find any template – from a company wiki to a daily habit tracker – all in one place.

To access the template gallery, click on Templates in the left sidebar menu. This will be rolling out to all users in the coming weeks. If you don’t yet see it in your workspace or local language, you will soon!

You can now add additional database properties to any Synced Database (currently in open beta with GitHub, Jira, GitLab, and Asana), where previously you could only create a relation or roll-up. Use this to provide your team with extra context about database items like Jira tickets, GitHub Issues, Asana tasks, and more, directly in the Synced Database in Notion – for example, add a text property with information about a Jira ticket, or add a Notion tag to easily create a view of specific GitHub PRs.

• Go to any Synced Database

• Click on the + to add any property

Learn more about Synced Databases →

• Made it easier to edit links, whether you’re linking to a Notion page or a URL. We’ve also added the ability to change the title of a link directly from the editor popup

• Made it possible to reorder all the fields that appear when using a relation property (e.g. fields like person or status can be moved to the left of the property's title)

• For new API features & improvements, go to developers.notion.com/changelog →

Our tools should do more for us. Now you can set a database template to duplicate on a repeating basis. Here are some ways to use it:

• Create recurring tasks to track daily or weekly to-dos

• Automatically generate a meeting agenda for a daily standup

• Create project updates on a weekly or daily basis

To use it, open a Notion database and click on the blue arrow on the New button to see your database templates. Click on ... on any template, where you’ll see a new option called Repeat. Select the frequency for the template to be automatically duplicated.

You can now remove vertical gridlines from your database Table view to get a cleaner look. Here’s how:

• Go to the ... menu in the top right-hand side of your Notion database in a Table view

• Click on Layout and toggle gridlines on or off

Paste a link from Box, Lucid, Linear, and GitLab to see previews that automatically update in Notion.

• Bring in files from Box – like a spreadsheet containing next year’s forecast models, or images for a marketing campaign – directly in Notion, so your team can see all the files they need for a project in a single place.

• Preview your latest whiteboard brainstorm and product designs from Lucidchart and Lucidspark in Notion, giving your team the context they need to spec out the next stage of a project.

• View the latest status updates from Linear tasks in Notion, keeping your team on the same page as projects progress from one milestone to the next.

• Link to a GitLab Merge Request, so that your team can see the latest status update in Notion.

If you’re a developer interested in building a link preview with Notion, fill out this form →

Some public pages are only meant to be shared for a limited time (e.g. marketing one-pagers or investor updates). Now, when you select Share to web on a paid plan, you have the option to set an auto-expiration date using the new Link expires button.

Learn more about public pages & web publishing →

Less manual entry is always a good thing. Now, you can include variables like @today/@now/@me in the title of your database template (e.g. including @today in the title of a meeting notes template ensures the current date is always in a new meeting note).

The more you write in Notion, the more you notice little quirks you don’t expect — things that interrupt your train of thought. So we combed through your feedback to find a few of these rough edges, and made some tweaks so the editor feels more natural:

• Spell-check now works more reliably when you select a word to fix its spelling

• Inserting an item at the start or end of a number, todo, or bullet list feels more seamless

• When a table or database is the last block on a page, clicking beneath it will automatically create a new block

• New shortcuts for strikethrough: (Ctrl/cmd + Shift + X) or (Ctrl/cmd + Shift + S)

Here’s a guide on writing and editing basics →

It can take a while to scroll through all the images that may be spread out on a page (e.g. PRDs with many product mock-ups). Now, once you double-click on any image, you have the option to scroll through all the other images on the same page. It’s also easier to zoom and download from the new menu.

Your standard width pages just got even more flexible, with more possibilities for creative layouts. Now you can resize a list of columns to be wider than the margins of a standard width page. Just drag and resize columns as you usually would and they’ll expand beyond the margin of the page they're on.

View and manage your settings for third-party app connections more easily with these new improvements:

• Integrations to third-party services like Zapier, IFTTT, and Typeform, are now called “Connections” in the Settings menu and page menu.

• “My connected apps”, a tab in the “Settings and Members” menu for viewing and managing connections, has now been renamed to “My connections”.

• You can now manage page access for all connections in the ... menu at the top right-hand side of a page. These were previously shown in the “Share” menu of a page.

• Workspace owners can view and manage connections to all third-party integrations within their workspace from the “Connections” tab in the “Settings and Members” menu. Users that are not Workspace owners will no longer see this tab.

Think of your Notion workspace as a digital office: a comfortable and focused place for folks to do their best work. But while it’s useful to have everyone under the same roof, different teams need their own spaces, and the flexibility to change how you work as the company grows.

Teamspaces are like mini-workspaces within your workspace: custom sections of the sidebar that can be adapted to every company department, working group, cross-functional project, or whatever you need to get teams on the same page. And for the first time, every employee will be able to curate and customize their own view of the company’s Notion workspace, by joining the teamspaces relevant to their role and priorities (and leaving the ones that aren’t).

• Click All teamspaces at the top of your sidebar to get started. Click the + New teamspace button to create a space for your department, office location, or working group, and join relevant teamspaces to add them to your sidebar.

• Customize teamspaces to meet the needs of every team. Every teamspace can have its own look and feel, members & settings. Enterprise workspaces gain granular control over employees’ ability to publish pages to the web, export, and add guest collaborators, on a space-by-space basis.

• New privacy settings and roles ensure that everyone has the appropriate level of access to content. Designate teamspace owners to control membership, security settings & permission levels.

When folks struggle to find the context they need to get work done, company momentum slows to a glacial pace. “Status update” meetings get scheduled. Browser tabs multiply. And precious little time remains to get real work done. So we’re doubling down on search, so everyone can quickly and easily find what they need in Notion.

• See a list of all of your recently visited pages when you open the search window, just like a browser history. Then jump back to your recent pages with one click.

• Narrow the scope of your search with better filters. Quickly limit your search to a specific teamspace, page, author, date & more.

• Search for pages that include an exact phrase, by wrapping your “search term in quotation marks.”

• See search results 40-50% faster, with instant access for frequently viewed pages.

• Find more accurate search results, thanks to improvements to our search engine tech.

Like bread, stale pages aren't very appealing. When you're viewing a team doc, you want to make sure you're seeing the most up-to-date info available.

Now you can quickly check the top-right of your page to see when a page was last updated, and hover your cursor to see who edited the page most recently, and who created it.

IT specialists, security teams, program managers — these are the heroes behind the curtain, ensuring everyone has access to the tools they need to be productive, and that those tools are well-maintained and have the security controls the organization needs. With them in mind, we set out to make Notion Enterprise workspaces much easier to deploy and manage at scale.

• New membership admin and workspace owner roles ensure that every employee has the appropriate level of access to workspace security settings & billing.

• Workspace owners can customize who should be able to create additional Notion instances using their verified domain.

• When employees leave the company, workspace owners can re-assign their content to ensure nothing goes missing.

• Now, workspace owners can view the audience or visibility level of each target page in the audit log.

• Fixed a bug that prevented some keyboard shortcuts from working in Firefox

Making lots of edits in a Board view database used to take a while: click on a card, make your edits, go back to the Board view, make another edit — like eating a bowl of rice one grain at a time.

Now, you can update database properties in the Board view without needing to open each record one by one. Just click on a property and make edits on the card.

It’s now easier to see all the items related to a Notion page, in a new page section for database relations. Now, you can see up to 10 relations at a time in a dedicated section at the top of a Notion page, and edit those properties directly – without needing to go into the related database. Here’s how:

• Open up a Notion page with a database relation property.

• Click on any relation property.

• Under “Show as," click on “As page section”

This feature will be rolling out to everyone in the coming days. If you don't see it yet, you will soon!

Synced Databases show you up-to-date information about your Jira tickets & GitHub PRs and issues, all in a Notion database. Now you can easily find the information you’d like to turn into a Synced Database with a new search experience, so you can find that exact Jira board or GitHub repo you’d like to bring into Notion. Here’s how it works:

• Enter “/” in your Notion page to bring up the slash command menu and search for “Jira” or “GitHub”

• Click on “Jira” or “GitHub” under “Synced Databases”, and authenticate to your Jira or GitHub account if you haven’t already done so

• Select the Jira board or GitHub PR list as the source in the menu, or paste a link in the search bar, and see it populate immediately in your Notion page

Synced Databases are now available for all users in open beta, with some limits for users on the Personal plan.

A look. A shrug. A thumbs up. Sometimes you don’t need words to get your points across, but a quick emoji can let your teammate know that you ✔️ completed a task, 👀 read their proposal, or 👍 agree with their feedback. To add an emoji reaction to a comment:

• Hover your cursor over a comment, or tap the comment if you’re on mobile

• Click or tap the new 🙂 button at the top right of the comment

• Spend a little too much time finding the perfect emoji to react with

Database templates automatically add some structure to new database entries: a specific format for bug reports, a set of requirements for content requests, an agenda outline for recurring meetings…. but when your teammates add new pages to your database, there hasn’t been a way to enforce that they use a specific template — until now. Here’s how:

• Click the down arrow to the right of the New button at the top right of your database

• Click the ••• to the right of a template, Set as default, then choose whether the default should only apply to the current view, or the entire database

• When anyone adds a new page, it’ll automatically apply your default template every time
