What’s New

No more waitlist, no “limited preview.” That means you can start to leverage the power of AI right inside Notion, across all your existing docs and notes—today.

Use Notion AI to augment your capabilities in new and unexpected ways. Just open any Notion page, and give these a try:

• Generate an instant summary from a page of messy notes. Start a new line, hit space on your keyboard, then select “Summarize.”

• Become a more effective communicator. Highlight a paragraph you wrote, click “Ask AI” in the toolbar that appears, and select “Improve writing.”

• Approach projects with new creativity. Create a new page, click “Start writing with AI,” and ask it to list pros & cons of a decision you’re considering.

Nearly two million people signed up for the alpha waitlist ten weeks ago. Now, Notion AI is completely redesigned based on feedback and testing. Go to any Notion page and hit space to see for yourself.

It’s now easier for you to set up your team’s workspace with database-powered templates for managing projects, tracking meeting notes, and sharing docs. These templates come pre-configured with the database views, pages, and relations needed for your team to effectively manage their work in Notion.

These include:

• Three project management templates, to help you build a simple to-do list, manage your team’s projects and tasks, or break out your tasks into time-boxed sprints

• Meetings, so that your team can track all meeting notes and action items in one place

• Docs, so your team can easily find, document, and share information across your team.

In addition, our template gallery has been redesigned and updated so that it’s easier to find any template – from a company wiki to a daily habit tracker – all in one place.

To access the template gallery, click on Templates in the left sidebar menu. This will be rolling out to all users in the coming weeks. If you don’t yet see it in your workspace or local language, you will soon!

Use this to provide your team with extra context about database items like Jira tickets, GitHub Issues, Asana tasks, and more, directly in the Synced Database in Notion – for example, add a text property with information about a Jira ticket, or add a Notion tag to easily create a view of specific GitHub PRs.

The more you write in Notion, the more you notice little quirks you don’t expect — things that interrupt your train of thought. So we combed through your feedback to find a few of these rough edges, and made some tweaks so the editor feels more natural:

• Spell-check now works more reliably when you select a word to fix its spelling

• Inserting an item at the start or end of a number, todo, or bullet list feels more seamless

• When a table or database is the last block on a page, clicking beneath it will automatically create a new block

• New shortcuts for strikethrough: (Ctrl/cmd + Shift + X) or (Ctrl/cmd + Shift + S)

Here’s a guide on writing and editing basics →

It can take a while to scroll through all the images that may be spread out on a page (e.g. PRDs with many product mock-ups).
