Create your first page

There are a couple ways to add a new page in Notion.

• At the bottom of your sidebar, click + New page.

• Or, use the shortcut cmd/ctrl + N.

A brand new page will pop up with options to view templates or pick a type of page to build.

• For now, give your page a title and press enter, which will give you a fresh, empty page.

Begin typing whatever you want. You'll notice other features fade away, leaving you with your thoughts.

Highlight any text to bring up a menu of options and tools. From here, you'll be able to add a hyperlink or comment, or style your text in bold, italics, underlines, etc.

The / command will quickly become your best friend in Notion.

• Typing / brings up a comprehensive menu of block types - all of your content options. Experiment with different block types - you'll find your own personal favorite combinations!

• Add any type of block by typing / and scrolling to the one you want or typing its name. For instance, /h1 creates a large heading, and /todo creates a checkbox.
