What’s New

Archive lets you mark pages as outdated to keep your workspace clean and improve your search results.

Archived pages have a banner showing who archived them and when, and they’re hidden from search, the sidebar, and database views by default. Archive a parent page and its sub-pages follow automatically.

To archive, click ••• in the top-right of any page and select Archive.

This month, we have a champagne problem: our engineers are shipping faster than ever, which means Notion 3.4 has too much to cover in a single email.

So let’s start with the fundamentals, like a new dashboard view for your databases, a completely redesigned sidebar (opt-in to try it out!), presentation mode that turns any doc into a slideshow, and a lot more.

Try our new sidebar →

Bring together charts, KPIs, and metrics into one beautiful dashboard, so you can see what’s up and what’s changed. Much easier to create and maintain versus a workaround like a page of linked views.

To get started, try describing the dashboard you want to your Notion Agent. It can build and update for you! Available on Business & Enterprise plans. Learn more →

The sidebar was getting far too crowded. So we organized it into four new tabs, with easy access to your pages, agent chats, meetings, and notifications. And it’s way more customizable: you decide which sections to toggle on and off.

If you want a quick tour, take a look at Jon's walkthrough. Be among the first to try it by opting in, and let us know what you think!

Presentation mode started in a very Notion way: Randy and Cole on our design team woke up one day and decided, “presenting a Notion page should be easy… and fun.” So they built it. Now, you can present directly from a page without having to rebuild your work. Try it with the shortcut ⌘ + opt + p on Mac, or Ctrl + alt + p on Windows.

It’s currently in beta for everyone on Plus, Business, and Enterprise. Check out Randy’s demo.

Notion HQ had an internal “tabs” block for years, but the secret finally got out. Time to set it free. Now you can organize content into clean, clickable sections, without the maze of subpages. Check it out.

Generate images right where your work lives, so visuals stay connected to the plan, the brief, and the decisions behind them. It’s the Notion way: iterate in context, remix what’s on the page, and turn text into everything from process diagrams to onboarding visuals in seconds. Just ask your agent. Here’s how you can get started.

Keep your workspace clean as it grows: now you can mark old pages as archived instead of deleting them, so they stay accessible without cluttering search and navigation. Archived pages are hidden from search by default, so they’re a great tool to improve your team’s AI responses.

• H4 headers: Smaller than H3, bigger than text.

• Markdown Content API: Markdown tools can now read and write Notion directly, which makes integrations simpler and more reliable.

• SDK improvements: Integrations are now easier to build and more reliable, with automatic retries, Markdown and Meeting Notes support, and clearer setup warnings, so workflows break less often and ship faster.

Tell us what’s working (and what you want next). We’re building fast.

Cheers,

Ivan

P.S. Notion 3.4 also includes an exciting list of upgrades for Notion AI that are already rolling out now. I’ll send a note about that soon. In the meantime, you can watch this video.

P.P.S. If you’ve been curious about Custom Agents, now’s a good time to try them for free through May 3, 2026. Get started here.

Custom skills let you turn any repetitive AI task into an easily accessible command. Use custom skills from the text selection menu or @mention them directly in an agent chat. Because skills are pages, your whole team can use and build on the same ones.

To designate a page as a skill, open the ··· menu and choose Use with AI → Use as AI skill. Manage everything from Settings → Notion AI → General.

Available on Business and Enterprise plans.
