This is the most intense tutorial I have ever watched. I’ve had to change my underwear twice now, but I feel I’m finally getting the flow of how Notion works.
After seeing so many videos on UA-cam that show the same basic Notion stuff over and over, I didn't have high hopes for this one. But I have to hand it to you, these were legit secrets. Thanks!
Woh! You just solved the two biggest frustrations I had with Notion - background color to help give more block contrast on tables and boards - and drawing. Thanks so much! I do wish they wld make their 'divider' tool easier to use, though. But I love the app, and even more so after watching this. Cheers!
@@jeffeisley I also just used the method behind secret #3 (build as page, turn into something else) to get 3 columns of toggles inside a full-width column! I imagine this little workflow could come in handy with many things. It seems Notion has many capabilities that aren't yet directly implemented in the UX.
#1 Put inline table into a toggle list to get colored background #2 /command at end of text to modify #3 Have columns formatted correctly inside a toggle list by first converting a page (that have the columns in it) into inline toggle block #4 Embed gifs #5 Have drawing option by connecting with an external API (doesn't work, no more)
Hello Jeff, have you tried Monday.com? I've just learnt about @t a few days ago. I am kind of having a feeling that @t can entirely be replaced with @t, based on the cheaper pricing standpoint, wiki feature, to-do-list, calendar views. How is your take on it? I'm a single-user in @t and found its pricing growing yearly. Thank you!
I've used Monday in the past for a few years, it's a solid app for sure. They basically invented the table "action" view, which is really powerful, esp for teams. The pricing was a bit much back then & it was missing some features I needed but I will def check it out again to see what's changed, thanks for the heads up 😎
@@jeffeisley Figured it out. It's tricky. You need to be aware of where and how you drag things. Also, I was over my block limit (Been downloading lots of examples).
These are ACTUALLY secretsss!!! The column inside the toggle is SO HELPFUL!! Thankss And 6:30 wtf lmao xD And since we're already talking about notion, my notion isn't working on my browser :( There's this "Cannot save changes" in red next to the names of all pages doesn't allow me to edit ANY of my pages :( I just wanted to ask if you or someone have/has encountered the same issue and how you/they figured it out. (Also, should i download the app on my computer? sorry if that was a stupid question) Pls help :/
I love your background music! Thanks for a mission impossible Notion tech geek video :) Do you know how to link Google homes virtual list with Notion? Zapier and IFTTT does not work.
@@jeffeisley Thank you :) You can link Google homes virtual list with Evernote with IFTTT, but I do not think you can link Evernote with Notion? Ofc could post an url and have a hyperlink but I just wanna say stuff to Google and find it where I want it in Notion. Thanks again for your videos :) Will binge-watch the Notion videos.
It’s definitely a life saver at the moment. As for downsides, I would say it lacks a variety of integrations but those will be coming in the near future once they open up their API, database UX isn't as polished as Airtable, and the whole main window UI is customizable which can be a negative for some people if they prefer a fixed UI
@@jeffeisley thanks for the quick reply. I guess another down side would be, that it is limited to 800 notes, right? Sorry, my English is not so good...
You need to do these things in order for it to work: 1 - use a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) for Notion, do not use Mac app, Windows app, iOS app, Android app 2 - you need to be logged into Notion and Notation in the SAME browser 3 - you need to use a link from the SAME Notation account that you are logged into, so if you tried creating multiple Notation accounts, just generate a new link from your current account that you are logged into If you still have trouble, feel free to reach the creator via the Notation website as they can better provide better help since, well, they made it lol
Yeah they should definitely offer an optional guided tutorial when you create an account but if you need some quick help just click on the question mark icon at the bottom right of your screen and click on "Help and Support Guide" then click on "Start Here"
For 'Secret 1' (background color for tables) it doesn't actually impact specific cells, it just color washes the entire table...other than personal preference, this does nothing for those that want to color code a table by individual cells, so functionally useless
The music made me feel like adding color to a table is the most illegal thing you can do
at least it's not as dangerous as doing your own stunts 😂
lmao
This is the most intense tutorial I have ever watched. I’ve had to change my underwear twice now, but I feel I’m finally getting the flow of how Notion works.
LMAO as long as the "flow" involves clean underwear thats all that matters! I wish you the best of luck 😂👍
After seeing so many videos on UA-cam that show the same basic Notion stuff over and over, I didn't have high hopes for this one. But I have to hand it to you, these were legit secrets. Thanks!
How I wish there is a secret on how to justify text to centered.
the last one is a game-changer i can now fully use notion for all my notes(for math) rather than using separate digital notes or even worse paper
hell yeah! 👌😎
Doesn’t work on iPad Pro with pen
now you can use LaTeX )
That final secret was really really neat! Holy cow!
Seriously enjoy these more advance lessons for Notion, I'm loving them, thank you so much and pls keep them coming.
Thanks and will do 😎

Awesome, glad I could help 😎
Keep making content especially the Notion ones, Jeff! you have no idea how useful your videos are to me.
Will do! Thank you! More Notion videos are on the way! 😁😎👌
Agree! This is a life saver!
Found that shorthand for the 'turn into' slash commands work to; i.e. typing "/tc" will pull up the 'turn into code' function.
Nice! 👌
lol that dramatic music
Great video, thanks. And to the secret 4, Its possible to use an animated gif as icon or cover image as well.
Wow I didn't know that. Thank you!
As someone who can't draw and hates gifs, I found 3 of them very helpful. Thank you.
No problem 😎
You can also use a gif as a cover photo for your pages!
Thanks for the secrets 🙌 It's a shame that the Notation feature doesn't work now
No problem and yeah, very sad, I'll check in with the creator to see if there's a workaround 🧐
Secret #3 really helped me a lot!!!!! Thank you sooo much!!
no prob 😎
Thank you - I've just started using Notion and these tips are really helpful!
No problem, glad I could help 👌😎
thank you, can't wait to use the draw option on my ipad pro
same
SAME!!
Excellent video! Thanks for the tips, they’re great!
Thanks and no prob 😎🤘
Great video, thank you! I am preparing to dive into Notion head first once I get my first and new MacBook Pro in next several days-yea!
Hell yeah! Feel free to reach me on Twitter if you need any ideas to help you with your account structure 😎
I didn't know you can use slash command at the end of the block for "turn into". Thanks, Man!
No problem 😎
1000th Subscriber! Keep it up man!
Thanks! More on the way! 🤓
Great! Thank you. And yay for Indy!!
thanks and no problem ✌️😎
Nice
If you want, you can also upload a gif as your cover photo too! I just accidentally did it before watching this video! :)
haha awesome 😂
You had me going for 30 secs lol
secret #2 is excellent! I love navigating with the keyboard.
Yeah it's a good one 😎
@@jeffeisley I also just used the method behind secret #3 (build as page, turn into something else) to get 3 columns of toggles inside a full-width column!

*3 columns of toggles inside a full-width toggle*
Nice and yeah agreed 😭
#1 Put inline table into a toggle list to get colored background
#2 /command at end of text to modify
#3 Have columns formatted correctly inside a toggle list by first converting a page (that have the columns in it) into inline toggle block
#4 Embed gifs
#5 Have drawing option by connecting with an external API (doesn't work, no more)
Thank you so much! Secret #3 is awesome!!!!!! 😎
No problem 🤘
Another way to draw in Notion is to use an embedded Invision Freehand board
Awesome!!!
Nice video! I didn't know about the 3th one, pretty nifty :) (Btw, you can also open the Notation menu with a right click)
You're fast! lol I didn't even email this to you yet haha 🖤
Fantastic more videos please!!! Also did you ditched workflowy?
I use both
@@jeffeisley workflowy for what purpose and wbt Evernote?
Geek Peek WorkFlowy for brainstorming and I don't use Evernote any more
kardeşim burda sadece ingiliz yok zaten zar zor anlıyoruz. Onu da espiri yapıp mahvediyorsun Thank you so much
i would like like to know the secret of how you create your own sections in the sidebar!
I wish that was possible too 😭 All they currently give us is --> Favorites, Workspace, Shared, and Private 😞
Thanks for this, #3 was really helpful!
No problem✌️😎
4:40 "gifs" on Giphy are videos

Is there a way to turn your turn your to does into tables?
You can't convert them from the menu but you can drag them into a table ✌️
@@jeffeisley One-by -One or can you ctrl-shift select and then drag? I've been having trouble doing that.
@@jeffeisley Figured it out. It's tricky. You need to be aware of where and how you drag things.
Also, I was over my block limit (Been downloading lots of examples).
Good to hear, feel free to reach me by email if you need any help - Jeff(at)jeffeisley.com
Super useful! Thank you!
no problem ✌️

The column inside the toggle is SO HELPFUL!! Thankss

Is there a down side to Notion?
Pretty cool app so far...
It’s definitely a life saver at the moment. As for downsides, I would say it lacks a variety of integrations but those will be coming in the near future once they open up their API, database UX isn't as polished as Airtable, and the whole main window UI is customizable which can be a negative for some people if they prefer a fixed UI
@@jeffeisley thanks for the quick reply.
I guess another down side would be, that it is limited to 800 notes, right?
Sorry, my English is not so good...
no problem. you get 1000 blocks for free and yea I definitely recommend upgrading if you run out of space
Also if you use the Notion link in the description of this video you will get some free credit in case you decide to upgrade later 👌🤓
@@jeffeisley Thanks for the info. I was thinking about that as well in regards to integration.
4:10 mind blown
🤓🤓🤓
thank you for a great video...
no prob
Fantastic !!!! but the 5th secret seems not working anymore 😪 Other secrets pleaaase ?? 🤣Ciaoooo // JF
there may be a "part 2" in the works... 😈
@@jeffeisley ohhhh where is it? 👀
wow that was actually useful
thanks 😎
Here's another one, you can clone public templates medium.com/@benln/10-public-notion-templates-you-can-magically-copy-25d04c1e5da2
Thanks, I'll have to add this to the sequel video 😈
I love this secrets!!😍
Me too 🌟😎
I need to have notion post to be but it refused to display in . Any workaroud or other options to embed notion post on html?
Amaaaaaazing!!!!!!
thx 😎
I noticed that background score ;)
🏍🚁😎
great content!
Thanks 😁
Whats is the github link?
Why can't i draw in the app? I can only draw on the webpage..
it requires a web browser to work since it's technically an i-frame
Lol hahaha this music is so EPIC!!!!!!!
Tom Cruise would agree 🤣
I have laptop with Linux mint 19.3 x64 How i can install Notion ??
they have a web app version that'll run in your web browser 👍😎
The last one would’ve been amazing if it worked for mobile
that music doesnt make the video more exiting, but nice video elsewise
haha thanks 😂
Not only great tips, tricks, and secrets ... but you pronounce GIF correctly too! Thumbs up.
Thanks and thanks lol 😆
Alright!
5 secret..funny! wait n seconds... :D I waited...:D
I tried haha
Excelente!
I Loves Secret Number 1.
I tried many times to drawing notation as you told but not working... Please help me.
You need to do these things in order for it to work:
1 - use a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) for Notion, do not use Mac app, Windows app, iOS app, Android app
2 - you need to be logged into Notion and Notation in the SAME browser
3 - you need to use a link from the SAME Notation account that you are logged into, so if you tried creating multiple Notation accounts, just generate a new link from your current account that you are logged into
If you still have trouble, feel free to reach the creator via the Notation website as they can better provide better help since, well, they made it lol
@@jeffeisley Special thanks from Seoul, Korea.
5:57 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
same 🙃
Notion had already blown my mind with its flexibility!
DRAW?!?!?
Notion should do better in giving better insight on how to use the App. It too complicated to use
Yeah they should definitely offer an optional guided tutorial when you create an account but if you need some quick help just click on the question mark icon at the bottom right of your screen and click on "Help and Support Guide" then click on "Start Here"
For 'Secret 1' (background color for tables) it doesn't actually impact specific cells, it just color washes the entire table...other than personal preference, this does nothing for those that want to color code a table by individual cells, so functionally useless
Correct. It's just useful if someone wants to have multiple tables on a single page and color code them to keep them visually separate ✌️
Unfortunately it seems notation no longer works. Love the video otherwise!
Wow !!!
