What’s New

We know that toggles are a lot of folks’ favorite Notion feature. If you’ve ever thought “I wish toggles could be bigger,” you’re in luck! Here are a few ways you can add header toggles to your pages:

• Open the block menu by typing / or clicking the + button that appears to the left of your paragraph, then select Toggle heading 1/2/3 in the dropdown menu that appears

• Type > in an empty heading block, or # / ## / ### in an empty toggle block

• Use the Turn into command by clicking the ⋮⋮ block handle to the left of any block, or use a slash command such as /turnintotoggleh1

We’ve been keeping an eye on your feedback since launching simple tables last month! One of the biggest requests was the ability to make simple tables more colorful. Now you’ll find a new Color menu when you click the column & row handles, giving you another way to organize your content.

Create flowcharts, pie charts, user journey diagrams and more with Mermaid, right inside a code block. No need to screenshot or embed charts from other tools! Mermaid syntax is easy to learn, even if you don’t usually write code.

Just select Mermaid in the language dropdown at the top left of any code block to get started. Once you’ve written your code, use the second dropdown at the top left to see a live Preview of your chart, or select Split to see your code and chart together.

In the past, multi-column layouts could only be created on desktop. Now, you can create multi-column page layouts on iPad & Android tablets too.

Just hover your cursor over any block and grab the ⋮⋮ block handle that appears (or tap and hold a block if you don’t have a mouse or trackpad), then drag to the far left or far right side of your screen.

Rollups are one of Notion’s most powerful features, allowing you to bring in specific pieces of information from your databases into other workflows. Now, interacting with rollups is even easier.

• Rollups of URL, email & phone number properties are now clickable

• Hover your cursor over any rollup and click the ✏️ button to configure the rollup’s relation, property & calculation

• It’s much easier to find the emoji you’re looking for as inline emojis or page icons (e.g. only the “bubble tea” keyword found the 🧋 emoji before, but now “boba” works too)

• Smart quotes & apostrophes are now supported

• Clicking on a page’s title in the breadcrumbs at the top left of the page now scrolls you to the top of the page

• Recursive page mentions are now supported (i.e. mentions of pages whose titles contain links to other pages whose titles contain links to other pages now include all of the associated links within the mention 🪆)

• The keyboard shortcuts for dark mode and transforming block type are now supported on iPad and Android tablets with an external keyboard

• Checkbox properties can now be resized to perfectly fit the little checkbox in your Table view databases

• Newly created linked databases now reflect the sort, column order & column visibility of the first Table view of the source database

• Long titles now wrap onto new lines on Gallery view cards, and the + New button is smaller when it’s the only item in a row

• Double click column separators in your simple tables to automatically resize the column based on the longest cell

• Databases with three or more views now include a search box within the view switcher dropdown menu

• When you change a database property’s visibility to “Hide when empty,” new properties added to the database will default to “Hide when empty”

• You can paste the same content into multiple selected cells simultaneously in Table view databases

• On mobile, you can now re-order columns in Table view databases, properties on database pages, and columns & rows in simple tables

• Numeric values in Table view databases now use tabular lining for better readability

• The dropdown menu that appears when you click the ⋮⋮ block handle of a sub-page now includes a button to Open in new tab

• Fixed a bug that prevented previews from appearing in the page history tool for pages where the Move to function had been used

• The order of page properties is retained in PDF exports

• Sorts on a database view are retained in PDF exports

• Cyrillic characters are now supported in exported file names

• Inline links to Notion pages become links in exported PDFs

• Large pages are less likely to result in an error message during a PDF export

• File blocks become links in the exported PDF

• The Confluence importer tool is better at determining whether a Confluence table column should become a Checkbox property in Notion

• More date formats are supported when inputting dates as mentions or database properties, especially in Korean

• Lots of interface fixes in the Korean & Japanese apps: button and menu item names that were too long, broken padding and spacing, miscellaneous rough edges

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Ctrl / ⌘ + \ keyboard shortcut for opening and closing the sidebar from working correctly on Japanese keyboards

• In the page history tool, date timestamps now use relative formatting (e.g. “1 day ago” instead of “12/20/2021,” or “February 1, 2022” instead of “2/1/2022”)

To add a simple table to your page, just type /table. Quickly add more rows & columns by dragging the bottom right corner, and toggle your header row and header column by opening the Options dropdown menu.

Request feedback from stakeholders, brainstorm quarterly goals, and push projects forward by leaving more visible, easily discoverable comments on your notes & docs.

Your workspace holds endless possibilities — and Notion's global community can help you unlock them. So we rebuilt our Template Gallery from the ground up to showcase the very best dashboards, setups & workflows built by our users around the world. Duplicate, modify, and use any of them today!

Check out the new gallery and duplicate a template at notion.com/templates.

Now you can visualize your tasks & projects with even greater precision. Group items by any property in your database views to achieve peak organization.

• Create groups in Timeline, Table, List & Gallery views
  Using a database view with hundreds or thousands of items? Click the new Group button to visually organize your content by whatever property makes sense for your workflow.
  Each group includes a toggle to the left, so you can quickly hide and show groups to focus on what you need. Empty groups can also be hidden from view with the new "Hide empty groups" toggle.

• Create groups and sub-groups in Board view
  Your core task workflows just got way more organized with sub-groups.
  If your board was already grouped by a Status property (e.g. "Not started," "In progress," "Complete"), now you can create sub-groups of those tasks organized by Priority, Team, Assignee, or whatever property you need — all while keeping your Status columns intact.

• Group by more properties, including Relation, Number, Date and more
  Before, you could only group your items based off of Select, Multi-select, and Person properties. Now nearly every property type is supported, including Text, Number, Date, Checkbox, URL, Email, Phone, Formula, Relation, Created time, Created by, Last edited time, and Last edited by.

Before, only admins could add an API integration to your team's workspace. Now, both admins and members can integrate with services like Automate.io, IFTTT, and Typeform.

To manage and remove the integrations added by members in your workspace, admins can go to Settings & members → Integrations. For teams with an Enterprise subscription, there's a new setting in the Security & identity section to Prevent members from installing new third party integrations.

Collaborate more effectively with your team through a completely redesigned comments experience in Notion. Here are the key ways it will improve the way you work together, whether you're giving feedback, suggesting revisions, or planning projects:

• New comments sidebar
  See every comment on a page at a glance, and respond to any comment thread — all consolidated in your new right-hand sidebar.
  Use the Resolve button to archive any comments where no more action is required, or filter your sidebar to only view Resolved comments, so you can see a history of decisions made.

• Attach images, GIFs, videos & files
  When you're commenting on someone's doc, giving feedback about your teammates' design, or asking a colleague for the correct PDF, plain text doesn't always get the job done.
  Now you and your teammates can add rich attachments to all your comments, including images, animated GIFs, full-length videos, and file attachments like DOCX files from Google Docs or Microsoft Word, PDFs & more.

• Copy & share links to specific comments
  When folks are catching up on the status of a project or decision, it's helpful to point them to the exact thread where the discussion is taking place.
  To do this, click the ••• button that appears when you hover your cursor over a comment, then click Copy link. Then, paste the URL in a Slack message, email, text message, or however you want to share with your teammate.

Hosting your company's careers page, investor pitch deck, or personal blog on a public Notion page? When someone asks for the link to your site, "acmedesign.notion.site/f7s8b0" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, or fit on a business card. And before now, "acmedesign.notion.site" would have resulted in an error screen.

If you have a paid plan, you can now select a home page for your public site, so anyone who goes to .notion.site will be taken to whatever page you choose.

To do this:

• Go to the page you'd like to set as the homepage for your public site, and ensure that Share to web is turned on in the Share menu

• Go to Settings & members → Settings and scroll to the Public home page section to select your home page

• Be sure to also select a custom domain name in the Domain section if you haven't done so already

"Hey Siri, open my Notion dashboard." Now shortcuts like this are easy to create in the Shortcuts app on your iOS device. The next time you open your Shortcuts app, you'll find that Notion has been added as a compatible app. And if you usually open a Notion page on your device around the same time of day, it may appear in your Siri Suggestions as well.

P.S. You'll need to have opened the page on your device recently for it to appear in the Shortcuts app!

First, swipe down in the middle of your iOS home screen. When you type the name of a Notion page, it will appear in the search results (as long as you've viewed that page on your device before).

This one has been a long time coming! Now when you click and drag to select blocks in a multi-column layout and copy to your clipboard, the column structure will stay intact when you paste it somewhere else in Notion.

When you're taking notes, typing @today or @now lets you quickly record the current day's date. They automatically resolve to display the month, day, and year as time passes, but they didn't work within database templates — until now.

When you type @today or @now while editing a database template, you'll see two options: one to record today's date, and a new option, Date when duplicated, which creates a dynamic date mention each time the template is used in the future.

We've heard it many times: there's something especially therapeutic about selecting the perfect emoji for your Notion pages. Plus, they make your content much easier to find later!

Now there are dozens of new emojis to choose from — add them as page icons at the top of your docs and databases, or type them inline in any paragraph with the : key, followed by the name of the emoji.

Find the full lists of new emojis here: 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, 13.1

Before, it took several clicks to take the information from a database property and copy it to your clipboard for pasting elsewhere.

Now you'll find convenient **Copy to Clipboard** buttons next to Text, Number, URL, Phone, Email, Created time, and Last edited time properties, making for a much faster workflow.

URL properties in your databases are now easier to use. Clicking the URL opens that page in your web browser, rather than selecting the property for editing. And there's a new Edit URL button that appears when you hover over the property with your cursor.

When you first open the Quick Find window, the first thing you'll see is a list of your RECENT PAGES. Now these sync across all your browsers & devices!

For example, if you're working on a page in the desktop app, it'll appear at the top of your RECENT PAGES section the next time you access your workspace in the mobile app.

Recently, we added the ability to include rich content within callout blocks. Now you can do the same with quote blocks!

To do this, grab a piece of content (such as images, bullets, databases & more) by the ⋮⋮ block handle to its left, then drag inside the quote block.

• Pages load faster on Android 📈

• Text blocks containing @mentions of dates and people now automatically populate Date and Person properties when moved to a database

Now you can see detailed information about each of your pages while using Calendar view on your iPad or Android tablet, without having to tap on each individual day. Plus, you can drag & drop items from one day to another — just like desktop!

Before, you could only include plain text inside your Callout blocks. Now you can include any type of rich content you like: bullets, numbered lists, toggles, images... you can even nest a Callout block within a Callout block 🤯

To do this, grab a piece of content by the ⋮⋮ block handle to its left, then drag inside the Callout block!

Now you have even more control over what content is shared with an integration. And the process of adding an integration to your Notion workspace is much smoother now!

• You can pick specific pages to grant access to with the new search field — you're no longer limited to the top-level pages in your workspace

• The page picker will remember which pages you already granted access to, so you don't have to re-select them each time you want to adjust the integration's permissions

Not every culture has last names/family names/surnames. So we revised the Name setting to use a single, unified field instead of two — this enables names of any structure when you're tagged by teammates in comments, pages, and "Person" properties in databases.

To customize how your name is displayed in your workspace, go to the My account section of Settings & members, under "Personal info."

• Neeva: Neeva is the world’s first ads-free, private subscription search engine for the public web — they make it easy to search within personal email accounts, calendars, applications, and cloud storage platforms by surfacing the most important information to you from the same familiar search box. Now you can connect your personal Notion to Neeva and search through your pages and databases. Once you log into Neeva, head to Apps to connect your account.

• n8n: n8n is an extendable workflow automation tool that enables you to connect anything to everything via its open, fair-code model. Create advanced workflows between your Notion workspace and 200+ apps like Calendly, Discord, Telegram & more.

Replit's instant IDE (integrated development environment) allows you to write and execute code right inside your browser, without the mess of ZIP files and headache of setup. Now you can embed a repl in any of your Notion pages!

Just type the slash command /repl to get started.
