🔄 Sunday Sync: Zipping Through Notion Like a Lightning Bolt
|
​ It’s Brad, back with this week’s Sunday Sync! There are some amazing things coming to the Notion space, and you really don’t want to miss this. If you think Notion is just a productivity app, there’s a deep and wide world coming your way. Here’s what caught my eye this week: 🔑 Key HighlightsIt has been an interesting week in the Notion space. From a wickedly happy birthday, to launching the Notion How Tos series, the future is bright. In this newsletter, we’ll cover:
I'm also rolling out a series of videos this week to showcase how teams can gain more time back than any ever imagined. Stay tuned! ​ 🎓 Weekly Learning ExclusiveToday’s learning exclusive is a simple one, but it's one of my favorites. You can even use these tips together! Notion is like having the entire internet fully connected, not separate websites. On a regular website, you can use Ctrl + F to find any word on that page, zipping you right to where it is on that page. But Notion is even cooler. You can do more with its search. Even the basic Ctrl + F that we know and love has an extra feature. This guide will walk you through the three types of searches in Notion. Here are the differences:
We’ll start with my favorite. Search Any Workspace From Anywhere Type 3 is incredibly useful when you’re looking for a document while using a different program. Press Ctrl + Shift + K and search Notion right away. And if you need to search a different workspace, click the icon in the top left and swap to that workspace. You can even sort and filter, similar to using a database. How neat is that? The other two aren’t as universal, and only happen inside of Notion. Find On a Page Type one is straightforward: Press Ctrl + F, then type the word that you’re looking for. Notion will show you every matching word on the page To save even more time, you can highlight the word (or part of the word) first, and then press Ctrl + F to search for all matching words on the same page. It’s a quick way to avoid scrolling through long pages. Search Across Workspace The Notion specific search is using Ctrl + K or Ctrl + P to do a workspace search. Both options bring up the same Notion window. Both windows have similar sort and filter features to the Command Search (search from anywhere with Ctrl + Shift + K) window. The biggest difference is that it’s limited to the current workspace. That’s about it. Now, is there a difference when using Ctrl + K compared to Ctrl + P to search? Yes. But only sometimes. Just like when you highlight a word and press Ctrl + F, there’s a special feature with Ctrl + K because of Notion’s ability to link different pages around your workspace. Sure, you can always copy a page’s URL then paste it onto of a word to create a link. That works. If you have the link. A more convenient way is to highlight a word and press Ctrl + K to pull up a search window where you can link any page in your workspace. It’s a quick and easy way to connect ideas without copy and paste overload. You can even use the highlight + Ctrl + K method to link any external websites that you can spell or paste. Heck, you can even add outside links using the Ctrl + K highlight method. Handy, stackable tips everywhere you look. Recap Shortcuts are all about saving time and brainspace. We only have so much, take the shortcut when it’s available.
In the end, it’s about smooth navigation and better use of your time. Why not use it where it makes sense? ​ 📢 AnnouncementsThere’s always something new happening kin the Notion space, and this week’s updates are worth your attention: I’m excited to announce that my latest video, Notion Workspace Tour: How I Work With a Team, is dropping soon. You’ll see what a fully connected system with 206 databases looks like. This video will take you inside my workspace, where I show how I manage everything imaginable, all within a single Notion system. Check out the thumbnail for the video: ​ I don’t consider this a template. It’s a fully connected, 206-database system that manages everything with precision. Whether you’re working solo or leading a team, you’ll see exactly how powerful Notion can be. Stay tuned for the release! ​ 🚀 Project UpdatesThere is a lot happening behind the scenes, and I’m excited to share with you.

Each day, we’ll be sharing a video that dives deep into different aspects of how we’re using Notion. From managing analytics to working with a highly interconnected database system, these videos will make you rethink what Notion can really do. Notion Video Series Continues This week’s video series will dive into: These videos are designed to help you take full advantage of Notion’s potential for working fully connected.
Content & Workflow Optimization The Needs Assessment Roadmap and team calculators are now complete. These tools are intended to help teams assess their needs, measure performance, and provide a Strategic Action Plan (SAP) with everything laid out in front of them. We’ll be looking for more teams who are interested in managing tasks, projects, content, and even websites together within a single system.
