Notion takes a minimalist approach in all areas. Unlike other apps, it will not launch all possible functions to the user. The options are cleverly hidden in the interface so as not to look overwhelming. On the other hand, the complex UX of the software has also earned them a lot of criticism.
If you want to improve your Notion experience, find the best Notion tips for effective use.
When you try to log in to your Notion account, Notion shares a temporary login code with your email address to log in. This is the default behavior and I'm sure many of you don't like it.
Notion lets you set a password to login using email id and password in the usual way. Open the Notion app and go to Settings &Members> My Account and set the password.
As you may know, Notion lets you create Kanban boards just like Trello. You can use it as an alternative to Evernote. Notion lets you import Evernote notebooks, Trello boards, and Asana tasks directly into the software. This way you don't have to start scratching in Notion.
Open Notion and go to Settings and Members> My Connected Apps and import third-party app data.
Apart from taking notes, Notion also comes as a dedicated task manager. You can add a reminder to a block to be notified. Type ‘/remind’ and add the date and time to receive the notification.
The screenshot above shows that I'm using the weekly task management template to organize my week and add tasks to it with reminders.
When you build a page from scratch, you make dozens of changes to make a page look the way you want it to look. Notion keeps track of every change on a page. You can tap the update option and go back in time to see the changes you've made on the Notion page.
Notion also aims to replace Google Docs. And as expected, it offers the same, if not better sharing capabilities in software. After creating a page, you can share it with other Notion users from the top of the share menu.
Tap the Share button at the top, select add people, and add an email id. You can also set view/edit permission for the user. In the same Share menu, you will see added users and even delete them.
The free version of Notion lets you invite up to 5 members to your workspace.
By default, Notion lets you choose an icon for each page from the emoji picker menu. But if you prefer to keep the minimalist look, you can copy icons from the Notion Icons website.
Created by Notion fans, Notion VIP allows you to use a beautiful icon in the software. Simply copy an icon and return to a Notion page. Click on the page emoji and go to Link> paste the copied URL, and you will notice a new icon for the page.

This is a must-have for those managing projects in Notion. Notion's Timeline format allows you to display database items along a linear timeline, like a Gantt chart. It displays the footage in an aesthetically pleasing and understandable way while exposing any potential capacity issues. This makes it useful for presenting project tasks or a series of events.
Notion does not offer the possibility to protect a page by password. Instead, you can lock a page to prevent accidental editing. You can enable page lock from the three-dot menu, and it will lock the page for further editing. Tap the lock icon to unlock the page you want to edit.
Do you know that you can also turn a Notion page into a full-fledged website? Using tools like Super.so, you can convert your Notion pages into fast and working websites with domains, fonts, analytics, and more. personalized.
It's not that. Super.so lets you take advantage of third-party integrations like Gumroad, Google Analytics, MailChimp, and more. Pricing starts at $12 per site per month. Developers offer 7 days free trial.
