Connecting your workspace
- Linked view — A live window into an existing database — same data, different location. Filter it, sort it, it stays in sync automatically.
- Synced block — A piece of content that lives in one place but appears identically everywhere it's placed. Edit once, updates everywhere.
- Embed — A live preview of an external file — Figma, YouTube, Spotify — right inside a Notion page. No tab switching.
- Link preview — Paste a URL and Notion shows a rich preview with title, icon, and status. Less interactive than an embed.
- Connected property — A database property that stays live-synced to an external tool like Figma or Jira — not just a URL, an actual connection.
- Synced database — A full database imported from an external tool (Jira, etc.) that stays updated automatically. Both sides reflect changes.

Building smarter
- Database page template — A starting structure for new database entries. Each new page is independent — editing one doesn't touch the others.
- Page button — One click, multiple actions. Create a page from a template, set properties, send a Slack notification — all at once.
- Automation — A condition-triggered rule. When something happens, Notion does something. No human required.
- Form view — Add a form view to an existing database and its properties become form fields automatically. Submissions land directly in the tracker.
- Conditional logic — A form that adapts based on answers. Select "Hardware" and a follow-up question appears. Keeps forms short and targeted.

Showing your data
<aside>
Database layout
Pin key properties at the top, tuck the rest into a Details panel. Use modules to organize page content visually.
</aside>
<aside>
Charts
Add a chart view directly to your database. Bar by Status, pie by Priority, line for trends over time — no exporting needed.
</aside>
Relations & rollups
- Relation — A property that links two databases together. One-way = see it from one side. Two-way = navigate from either database.
- Rollup — Pulls a calculated value from a related database. Requires a relation to exist first. Use it to show live progress, counts, or sums.
Notion AI & Enterprise Search
- AI ConnectorsEnable Notion AI to reach into Slack and Google Drive. Turn them on, then ask AI to summarize across sources in one prompt.
- Enterprise SearchAsk AI a question and it synthesizes an answer from across your workspace — with citations. No opening multiple docs.
- Enterprise Search filtersScope AI answers to a specific teamspace, date range, or doc type before you write your prompt.
- @-mention in promptTag a specific page in your Notion AI prompt so it pulls context directly from that source.

‼️ Watch out
Two questions on this quiz look almost identical. The difference: one answer does everything in one prompt with AI Connectors. The wrong answer adds an unnecessary extra step — summarize first, then separately search. One prompt wins.
