Hello folks
So what we're going to be doing with this feature is running over the nine months the last nine months and what's been added to
Notion, we're gonna be over viewing all of the major updates that they've added to the platform
this will give you an idea of all the new things inside of notion so you can take advantage of them and know where the
Applications going in the future before we begin make sure to check out the notion made simple course
It's a great way to learn notion with a huge library of videos help you learn notion effectively
It's a really handy course and hopefully you'll become an ocean expert through it
So guys make sure to check it out in the description below now, if you don't know yet notion is a powerful workspace
It allows you to build flexible tools to meet your needs. You can build habit tracker a road map a holiday tracker
Anything 2020 planning GTD dashboards freelance clients apartment hunting
It's really a flexible tool and they have some amazing templates to get you started
So let's go back to around nine months ago to June 2019 and this is where we'll start our updates from now the June
2019 update included a range of different things
Mainly a focus on reliability so they introduced better
PDF export now inside of notion if you have a page you can go and export it and they they've made it more reliable and
easier to export pages and now you can export pages as PDFs and
Send them to other people which makes it easier to them to see the notion page if you don't want to share it
They also have better Google Drive embeds now
If you don't know inside of notion, you can embed a Google Drive document. That could be a Docs
It could be sheets. It could even be a form
But basically it allows you to use that Google Doc without necessarily moving from the notion
Application and they improve the reliability
and the way that you embed that so that has fewer hiccups and it is easier to use so
Inside of notion you can create a range of blocks. There's all different types
You can create a database block which allows you to create some form of database for yourself
You can create a heading block to create a heading or even just need to do block to create a checklist
Blocks are essentially the building bricks to your application
So they added something called call-out blocks
Which is perfect for explaining and introduct introducing a new document to your team
This has become popular
When explaining new documents when giving and passing them over to employees or other people you're working with in the community
Notion in this June up. They also added a Web Clipper for Firefox
So if you don't know you can actually clip stuff from the web
They could be articles or other such
Information and being able to save it into an ocean database is really helpful and actually added that for Firefox, which is a great update
Now in july 2019 they had two major updates
The first of those July updates was adding 45 plus templates and launching a better template gallery
This was actually a huge improvement because people were able to actually access
templates and use them and
Definitely made it more valuable and they started adding community templates, which means that people in the community
Actively using notion could start building for other people and that could range for absolutely anything
So if you're ever looking for a template
The best place to go is notion so slash templates and you can go and duplicate them up in the top right hand corner
Now the second of the July updates was better billing for teams
This may be easier to download bills and see how much you've been charged each month
This is perfect for teams bigger than two and you can see this inside your workplace settings
Just go up to settings and members and you'll find it all there. So September
2019 saw the introduction of three plans for educators and students this allowed any educators or
Students that were currently active to get free personal plans inside of notion which made it really accessible
So if you are looking to get access to that, but it is notion door SOT students
They also added
Saml SSO for enterprise allowing you to sign in in a more secure fashion
Now the next update came in November 20 19 this introduced a whole
reliability update allowing their iOS
application Mac and Android to to get a big push and a good leap forward which means that the application is much faster today than
It used to be and this is definitely a pet peeve of many notion users to start the new year in January
They introduced notion search now notion search has been greatly updated allowing you to actually search
Specific areas and also search per author per page and also filter down even further to what you need to find
They also added a range of markdown shortcuts as well, which allows you to essentially use your markdown skills inside of notion
now February
2020
introduced a range of improvements
They actually improved the load time of the iOS by 30 to 50 percent faster
They also increased the speed of the navigation of pages by twenty to forty percent
they also introduced toggles that were better suited and
Easier to use and there are a lot more static one of the people finding huge value from them
They also introduced better mobile navigation with bars
So at the bottom you can quickly navigate on your Android or iOS devices now
What is tip to come and what has been on there?
What's new page has been better offline mode?
A lot of people want to see notion offline and they say that is coming. Also an API and
Integrations as well as well as a Timeline view for any of your databases
So there is lots of exciting things to come inside notion and as I've sort of pushed a lot
I think that notion will becoming mainstream in 2020 allowing everyone to jump on and really take advantage of this application
So a big thank you and I hope that was a useful overview of what's new on notion in the last nine months
Hey folks. So since I put together this video a couple of weeks ago
Um notion actually released a new version on March 18th called working from home and this is obviously based on a big surge of remote
Users over the last week. They've put together a few features that might make it easier for
Example better notifications now with an box snatched up see the monitor what's coming in?
So for example, you can open up your inbox in all updates
You can see the regular stuff you saw like following an all but you can now see anything
That is se not cleared and once you clear it
it will go over to archived so you can either reply to it which
Will clear it and move it to a new area and you can archive all as well
They also have better page present. So for example, if you're working on a document at the same time
You'll help you to actually see who's actually viewing it now a bit more obviously than it was before
They also introduced a mirror block as well. Miro is another service project management service
It's more collaborative like an online whiteboard
I've done a video on it, but they've also allowed you to embed these boards inside of any notion page
This is mainly used by design teams. I'm not really aware of it, but that now can be embedded inside a pages
Apparently some small bunk changes the read notification that appears on all updates now goes to 99 instead of 9
So that might be a little bit more stressful
But as you can imagine that inbox saves you a lot more time and it's definitely something you will appreciate so folks
Hopefully that was helpful and a big thank you to you all if you enjoyed the view like it

Thank you, and I'll talk to you all very soon. She's everyone. Bye
