Notion 2.11

Introducing: Synced Blocks! The feature is new, but the idea isn't.  ‌ ‌ ‌ [ ]( Hi {NAME}, It's always exciting to launch new features at Notion. But the ideas that get me the most excited aren't new at all. Computing pioneer Ted Nelson had a vision of software that broke free from the metaphor of the paper "page," where information could be seamlessly synced and shared across many contexts. 40 years later, I hope he would like that his ideas are making a comeback. [See What's New]( (1) Introducing: Synced Blocks Oftentimes, information needs to be included in multiple places throughout your workspace. But when that content needs an update, it's a pain to make those changes over and over, one page at a time. [Image: 20blocks%20no%20border.gif]( Now you can use Synced Blocks to ensure your content is always accurate and up-to-date! When you make any changes to the content or formatting of a Synced Block, all the other copies will update automatically.

Now the links you share with colleagues, customers and friends will include your personal branding right at the front! [Image: 20domain%20no%20border.png]( - Before, links to your public pages looked like this: notion.so/acmedesign/xxxxx12345 - Now, links to your public pages will look like this: acmedesign.notion.site/xxxxx12345 To set the domain for your public links, just go to Settings & Members → Settings → Domain (you'll need to be on desktop, and an admin in your workspace).
