Notion is a place to keep all your work and ideas in one spot, be it simple text notes, lists for school or complex work projects that you manage and share with others. The program packs a dedicated AI that can be useful for summarizing content and speeding up writing or brainstorming.
You keep everything in one place and organize it as you like
Before you can get started, the app asks you to specify how you plan to use the app, be it for work, school projects or your personal life. Irrespective of your choice, you will still be able to use the main functions. The only difference is how the workspace gets organized or the templates that the app can suggest.
You can start writing notes from scratch by simply creating a new page in your workspace and begin typing, adding text, lists, headings or anything else that seems relevant. Then again, many prefer to use the embedded templates and the community regularly provides new ones for things like meetings, notes, planners, trackers, dashboards or project systems. You can start with a template and edit it, as they are flexible.
Share and make working together easier
The sharing and permissions system is another strong point worth mentioning, as the app lets you invite people to see or edit specific pages of whole sections. You can choose different levels of access, meaning they can view or edit, and even publish pages publicly on the web, if that works best for your team.
Notion makes working with others easy because it can help keep everyone on the same page without needing extra programs, chats and emails. You can leave comments and notes so your team can discuss them, mention someone to make sure they see it or set reminders, so no one forgets deadlines and tasks.
