自 2016 年发布以来，Notion一直在生产力领域掀起波澜，这是有充分理由的。它消除了在多个应用程序之间分散工作的需要，并作为一个多合一的笔记(note-taking)、任务管理(task management)和协作工具(collaboration tool)。Notion 对几乎所有东西的基于模块化的方法也意味着你可以将它塑造成你想要的任何东西。
但是，如果您刚刚注册了Notion，毫无疑问，您会发现简约的用户界面令人困惑。与其他生产力工具不同，您不会看到任何花哨的工具栏或格式选项可供使用。
然而，Notion 的简单设计和美学是它的强项。与其强迫您进入特定的结构或层次结构，不如完全由您决定如何使用它。
在此Notion应用评论中，您应该找到一些技巧来帮助您开始使用(Notion)Notion并快速掌握自己的方式。
1.插入块(1. Insert Blocks)
在Notion中，一切都是一个块。每当您开始输入内容时，都会从默认文本块开始。但是您可以插入文本块以外的内容。
按正斜杠(forward-slash)( / ) 键，您应该会看到一个浮动窗格，其中包含您可以创建的所有块。您的基本块位于列表顶部。这些让您可以嵌入页面（稍后会详细介绍）、创建子标题、插入待办事项列表、添加分隔线、引用文本等等。你会经常使用它们。
然后，您就有了数据库、媒体和高级块。它们非常强大，可以让你做任何事情，从上传文件、插入看板样式的板(Kanban-style boards)到嵌入日历。试验每个块。添加的块越多，概念(Notion)就会开始变得有意义。
为方便起见，您可以在按下正斜杠(forward-slash )( / ) 键后立即键入其名称来过滤掉一个块。然后，回车(Enter)直接插入。记住您最喜欢的块，添加它们应该是轻而易举的事。
2.移动块(2. Move Blocks)
使用Notion，您不必在第一时间就把事情做好。将笔记和任务放入页面后，您可以按照您想要的顺序重新排列它们。这适用于Notion中的每种类型的块。
将光标放在一个块上。然后，拖动左侧显示的块手柄以移动块。(block handle)一条蓝线应标记您可以释放每个块的特定点。
Notion 还允许您创建列。只需(Simply)水平拖动一个块并在看到一条垂直的蓝线后释放。
3.转换块(3. Convert Blocks)
即使在完成向其添加内容之后，您也可以将基本块转换为另一个块。首先选择块句柄(block handle)。然后，指向上下文菜单上的Turn into并选择所需的块类型。
例如，如果要将带有标准文本的块转换为子标题，请选择H1、H2或H3类型的标题块。
4.创建子页面(4. Create Subpages)
每次您想要处理新事物时，您不必在Notion侧栏中创建单独的页面。(Notion)相反，使用Page块将页面嵌入到另一个页面中。您可以拥有任意数量的嵌套页面。
例如，您可以将单个页面作为主仪表板，并创建指向其他内容的子页面。这不仅可以帮助您在Notion中逻辑地组织事物，而且您还应该有一个整洁的侧边栏。
概念是非常通用的。您还可以将现有页面拖放到侧栏中的其他页面中，以将它们变成子页面，反之亦然。
5.链接到其他页面(5. Link to Other Pages)
Link to page是Notion中另一个非常有用的块，它与Page块结合使用可以帮助使一切顺利进行。将其添加到任何地方以链接到另一个页面。
6. 格式化文本(6. Format Text)
乍一看，Notion似乎没有任何格式选项。不用担心。只需(Just)突出显示要格式化的文本，您就会看到一个漂亮的工具栏，其中包含一些粗体、斜体和下划线选项。它还允许您添加链接、更改文本颜色等。
7.添加页面图标和封面(7. Add Page Icon and Cover)
Notion允许您使用图标和封面图像个性化任何页面（包括嵌套页面）。为此，请将鼠标悬停在页面标题上并使用“添加图标”(Add Icon)和“添加封面(Add Cover)”选项。
您可以从内置的图标/图像库中选择图标和封面图像或上传您自己的。
8.将块移动到其他页面(8. Move Blocks to Other Pages)
您可以将任何块移动到另一个页面。选择块手柄(block handle)并指向移动到(Move to)。然后，选择您想要的页面。或者，您可以将其拖放到任务栏上的相关页面中。
9. 快速查找(9. Quick Find)
想(Want)在您的 Notion 工作区中找到一些东西吗？选择窗口左上角的快速查找选项，然后开始输入以立即过滤掉页面和块。(Quick Find)
一旦你开始使用Notion，快速查找(Quick Find)将是必不可少的。要更快地启动它，请按Ctrl+P或Cmd+P。
10. 分享页面(10. Share Pages)
根据您的 Notion 计划，您可以访问几个强大的共享选项。如果您有Personal或Personal Pro计划，您可以邀请人们（Notion称他们为“客人”）查看、评论或编辑页面。您还可以公开分享页面。选择窗口右上角的共享选项以开始共享。(Share)
如果您有团队(Team)帐户，Notion会与您的其他团队成员共享侧边栏工作区(Workspace)部分下方的所有页面。您仍然可以在私人(Private)区域中创建任何人都无法访问的个人页面。
11. 锁定页面(11. Lock Page)
在Notion(Notion)中很容易搞砸一些东西而没有注意到。锁定页面可以防止任何意外编辑。为此，请选择右上角的三个点，然后选择(three dots)Page Lock。
12. 导入内容(12. Import Content)
您可以将纯文本、Word、Excel和CSV文件导入Notion。此外，您可以直接从Evernote和Trello等替代生产力工具(alternative productivity tools)导入数据。选择侧栏底部的“导入(Import)”选项开始。
13.启用暗模式(13. Enable Dark Mode)
Notion 支持深色模式。选择侧栏上的设置和成员选项，然后打开(Settings & Members)暗模式(Dark Mode)旁边的切换开关以启用它。
或者，您可以使用键盘快捷键Ctrl+Shift+L或Cmd+Shift+L在暗模式和亮模式之间更快地切换。
14.概念网络剪辑器(14. Notion Web Clipper)
在线浏览时，您可以使用Notion Web Clipper扩展将任何网页添加到您的Notion工作区。它适用于Chrome和Firefox。安装扩展程序后，使用您的 Notion 凭据登录它，一切顺利。
15. 使用模板(15. Use Templates)
概念可能会让人不知所措，但这就是页面模板可以提供帮助的地方。选择侧边栏底部的模板(Templates)选项以调出内置模板(Templates)库。然后，扩展个人(Personal)、教育(Education)或项目管理(Project Management)等类别并进行选择。
选择Use this template，Notion将根据所选模板自动创建一个新页面。当然，您可以根据需要编辑模板。
如需来自Notion团队和社区的更多模板，请前往Notion 模板库(Notion Template Gallery)。
不同的概念(Different Notions)
在Notion中要做的事情太多了，以至于我们在这篇(Notion)Notion应用评论中几乎没有触及到表面！但是，一旦您确定了基础知识，您应该会觉得使用它会更舒服。现在，是时候制作Notion工作区以满足您的特定需求了。
A Notion App Review: 15 Tips for Beginners
Since its release in 2016, Notion haѕ been making wаves in the productivity space, and for a good rеason. It eliminаtes the need to spread out work between multiple apps and acts as an all-in-one note-taking, task management, and collaboration tool. Notion’s modular-based approach to just about everything also means that you get to mold it into whatever you want.
If you just signed up for Notion, though, there’s little doubt that you will find the minimalistic user interface to be confusing. Unlike other productivity tools, you won’t see any fancy toolbars or formatting options to play around with.
Yet, Notion’s simple design and aesthetics are its strongest points. Rather than forcing you into a particular structure or hierarchy, it’s entirely up to you to decide how you want to use it.
In this Notion app review, you should find a handful of tips to help you start and fast-track your way with Notion.
1. Insert Blocks
In Notion, everything is a block. Whenever you start to type something, you start with a default text block. But you can insert something other than a text block.
Press the forward-slash (/) key, and you should see a floating pane with all the blocks you can create. You have your basic blocks at the top of the list. These let you embed pages (more on that later), create subheadings, insert to-do lists, add dividers, quote text, and so on. You will use them a lot.
Then, you have your database, media, and advanced blocks. They are very powerful and let you do anything from uploading files, inserting Kanban-style boards, to embedding calendars. Experiment with each block. Notion will start to make sense the more you add blocks.
To make things easier, you can filter out a block by typing its name immediately after pressing the forward-slash (/) key. Then, press Enter to insert it directly. Remember your favorite blocks, and adding them should be a breeze.
2. Move Blocks
With Notion, you don’t have to get things right the first time around. Once you’ve put your notes and tasks into a page, you can rearrange them in the order that you want. That applies to every type of block in Notion.
Place your cursor over a block. Then, drag the block handle that shows to the left of it to move the block around. A blue line should mark specific points where you can release each block.
Notion also lets you create columns. Simply drag a block horizontally and release once you see a vertical blue line.
3. Convert Blocks
You can convert a basic block to another even after you’ve finished adding content to it. Start by selecting the block handle. Then, point to Turn into on the context menu and pick the type of block you want.
If you want to turn a block with standard text into a subheading, for example, select the H1, H2, or H3-type header blocks.
4. Create Subpages
You don’t have to create a separate page in the Notion side-bar each time you want to work on something new. Instead, use a Page block to embed a page within another. You can have as many nested pages as you wish.
For example, you can have a single page as your main dashboard and create subpages leading to your other stuff. Not only does that help you organize things within Notion logically, but you should also have a clutter-free side-bar.
Notion is very versatile. You can also drag and drop existing pages into other pages in the side-bar to turn them into subpages and vice-versa.
5. Link to Other Pages
Link to page is another incredibly useful block in Notion that, combined with the Page block, can help make everything flow. Add it anywhere to link to another page.
6. Format Text
At a glance, Notion seems to be devoid of any formatting options. Don’t worry. Just highlight the text you want to format, and you should see a nifty toolbar with a handful of options to bold, italicize, and underline. It also lets you add links, change the text color, and so on.
7. Add Page Icon and Cover
Notion lets you personalize any page (including nested pages) with an icon and a cover image. To do that, hover over the page heading and use the Add Icon and Add Cover options.
You can pick icons and cover images from the built-in icon/image gallery or upload your own.
8. Move Blocks to Other Pages
You can move any block to another page. Select the block handle and point to Move to. Then, pick the page that you want. Or, you can just drag and drop it into the relevant page on the taskbar.
9. Quick Find
Want to find something within your Notion workspace? Select the Quick Find option to the top left of the window and start typing to filter out pages and blocks instantly.
Once you get going in Notion, Quick Find will be indispensable. To bring it up even faster, press Ctrl+P or Cmd+P.
10. Share Pages
Depending on your Notion plan, you have access to several powerful share options. If you have a Personal or a Personal Pro plan, you can invite people (Notion calls them “guests”) to view, comment, or edit pages. You can also share pages publicly. Select the Share option to the top-right of the window to start sharing.
If you have a Team account, Notion shares all pages underneath the Workspace section on the sidebar with the rest of your team members. You can still create personal pages that no one has access to in the Private area.
11. Lock Page
It’s very easy to mess something up in Notion and not notice. Locking a page can prevent any accidental edits. To do that, select the three dots to the top right and choose Page Lock.
12. Import Content
You can import plain text, Word, Excel, and CSV files to Notion. Additionally, you can import data directly from alternative productivity tools such as Evernote and Trello. Select the Import option at the bottom of the side-bar to get started.
13. Enable Dark Mode
Notion supports dark mode. Select the Settings & Members option on the side-bar and turn on the toggle next to Dark Mode to enable it.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+L or Cmd+Shift+L to toggle between dark and light modes faster.
14. Notion Web Clipper
While browsing online, you can use the Notion Web Clipper extension to add any web page to your Notion workspace. It’s available for both Chrome and Firefox. After installing the extension, sign into it with your Notion credentials, and you’re good to go.
15. Use Templates
Notion can be overwhelming, but that’s where page templates can help. Select the Templates option to the bottom of the side-bar to bring up the built-in Templates gallery. Then, expand a category such as Personal, Education, or Project Management and make your pick.
Select Use this template, and Notion will automatically create a new page based on the chosen template. You can, of course, edit the template however you want.
