Getting Started

Notion Tip: When creating a page, it's important to give it a clear title and provide some content. This could include verifying the information, summarizing the topic, or sharing your thoughts and opinions on something that matters to you.

The Basics

Create a Page

In your sidebar, click the + that appears next to the word Workspace on hover. A new page will appear. Give it a title and start typing like you would in any other document.

Headings

You can add headings and subheadings in one of two ways:

  • Type /heading or /h1 , /h2 , or /h3 to choose the heading size you want.
  • Use Markdown shortcuts, like # , ## , and ### .
