Start with a template
To help you take on a variety of challenges with Notion, we've created more than 50 templates that you can adopt and customize as your own — including 5 "starter templates" already in your workspace! Here's how to use them 💾
When you first sign up for Notion, you'll see a collection of 5 templates in your sidebar. These have been selected for you based on what you told us during onboarding. You can choose to add them to your workspace so you can edit them however you want, or remove them.
To remove all templates at once, click
Clear templates.To delete a template, click the
•••to the right of the page name and thenDelete.
You can access our full collection of in-app templates at any time.
They're one click away in your sidebar above
ImportandTrash.
You also have the option to choose
Templateswhenever you create a new page.
Both of these will open up the template picker with our full collection of templates categorized by type of work.
In this window, you can play around with templates and see how they work before deciding to use them. Click
Use this templateto actually add one to your workspace.
Instructions are included inside each template in two ways:
For databases, they are at the top and can be hidden by hovering over the top of the page and clicking
Hide description.For pages, instructions are scattered throughout in callout boxes that you can delete just like you'd delete any other content block.
In addition to in-app templates, you can duplicate a public page into your own workspace as template. Learn more about public pages here →
The Notion Template Gallery includes dozens of templates built for many purposes by Notion users around the world, which you can use as a starting point (or inspiration ✨)! Once you've duplicated a public template page into your own workspace, tweak it to match your workflow perfectly.

FAQs
Can I make my page a template to use elsewhere in my workspace?
There isn't a way to customize the template picker, unfortunately. The best way to do this is:
Keep an empty version of your template page in your left-hand sidebar.
Click the
•••next to that page's name in your sidebar, and thenDuplicatewhenever you need a new copy.
Depending on your use case, you might find these options useful!
