Notion is my favorite productivity app, I use it every day at work and for personal projects. This website itself is actually a Notion space made accessible with Super.so, which reduces the writing-to-publishing time to zero.

Here are some pro-tips that may be useful to Notion users.

A link to a Notion page typically includes the current title of the page (with dashes for spaces), and ends with its unique ID, like the following pattern:

But if you remove the title part from the link, and just keep the UID, it will still automatically redirect to the correct page. For example, this shorter link is perfectly valid:

It can be tricky to find how to add rows and columns to a simple table in the Notion app for iPhone and iPad. Here’s how:

Theoretically, it is impossible to split content into columns when nested inside a toogle block. However there is a workaround: start by arranging your blocks in columns as desired, and then convert the parent block into a toggle. The layout will be preserved.

It doesn’t always work to directly copy-paste text content to a Notion table: often, everything is pasted in the same cell, while you want it to be dispatched in rows and columns.

A workaround is to first put the content in Excel or Google Sheet, then copy from the spreadsheet and paste into the Notion table. It should properly distribute the content.

When importing a CSV file as a database, the title of each entry will be the first text column. You can’t change which property will be the title, so make sure that you have the columns in right order before importing.
