Basic Navigation and Interface
- Sidebar: This is where all of your pages and databases are listed. You can collapse or expand it, and it helps you navigate between different parts of your Notion workspace.
- Pages: Think of pages like documents in a folder. They can contain text, tasks, images, and other media. Pages can also contain other pages, creating a nested structure.
- Templates: Notion offers a variety of pre-made templates for different use cases, from project management to personal journals.
Pages
- Creating Pages: Click the "+" button in the sidebar or type
/page
to create a new page.
- Editing Pages: Click on any text to start editing. You can add headings, bullet points, quotes, and more.
- Content Blocks: Everything in Notion is a block (e.g., paragraph, image, to-do list). You can move these around by dragging the ⋮⋮ handle that appears when you hover over a block.
