Hello guys and welcome back to another video today notion released 2.3 update this includes the long-awaited
Web Clipper and has a few additional tweaks to speed things up
so we're just gonna give you an overview of the Web Clipper really briefly and
Also share with you some of the other news and some of my thoughts so far
So the Web Clipper is available on iOS Android and Chrome. It's currently not available on Firefox
you do need OS 11 or higher to access it and
Android
5.0 to access the web clipper 2
Now the simple premise of the web clipper and they have stated a few things
You can use it to save any page
Article research ideas, and it's very much simply going to plug into the top right hand corner of your chrome experience
So let's get started with the web version to kick things off
So if you go to the notion button in the top right hand corner
you can change the article title or the piece title and
You can
Choose the location you want to save it to?
Now if you want to you can create a links database which will create a database for you
automatically this is what a lot of people will do and it does and is very useful because you can change the view on the
Database into a gallery a list or a table no matter what you want
now when you do save a link
It will automatically save that link the image and also text if relevant if it's an article you can open notion
Automatically from there and be able to access it now
notion now stated the notion Web Clipper works best for articles or sites that are pretty
Straightforward and it's highly recommended that you use it for basic articles to get started
I noted as a couple of issues by for example
It double importing images and also sometimes it didn't even capture the actual text. For example
I wanted a recipe to come in, but I can naturally imagine
This is going to be a problem when it we get started
It doesn't have advanced abilities like being able to add due dates
reminders or even for example being to save like a full page or an article or
Simplified article like Evernote does now you can use this on iOS and Android
I'm going to demo here with iOS you can save website links when you're on Safari or even on Chrome
You just go to that share and open up the extension for notion web clipper
You can move it to the front of the queue really easily and you can start saving them
Now one thing you can do is you can save local photos to notion as well
so all you have to do for that is go over to your photos area and
Hit the share button and be able to save them into notion
And naturally they'll add to that new links database if that's where you chose to store it
Now just before we dive into some of my thoughts the other news that they did is they've updated all native apps to be opening
Faster and working better and that's both offline and with app or network connection. So that's good
I noticed a lot of you guys on the notion a simple Facebook group that you're having problems
Actually accessing the new version and in some cases aren't even able to log in
So I think notion probably will be aware of that and will be fixing it. I am and had any problems
Let me know in the comments if you have had problems, our best recommendation is to reach out to their support team
They're super fast and the team seemed really friendly
They've also changed
a host of different things with some of the coding side of stuff
other things that I want to notably highlight is you now can click links in boards and
Gallery cards without opening peak view, which is something very useful
for example
If you've got something saved inside of a quick access like I do it's gonna be very useful
You can also use a split screen multitasking on iPad
They fix that seem to be a problem with it and copy pasting content from notional windows
preserves
paragraph breaks
So that's something that's very
Useful and they fixed you can check out all the fixes as well as all the information on the web clipper
There's a guide to the Web Clipper but below just so you're aware of it
Now my thoughts on the Web Clipper, I definitely think it's early days
It seems to be very clunky in terms of getting started
But I do expect that from a new experience and the good thing is they've shipped it out
that's the most important thing and
I will start to use it over the next couple of weeks and see what I'd rule II think I
Definitely think it's a good progress, but it means definitely fine-tuning
I can see them adding more the abilities like due date adding and also reminders very soon so that you can clip
Pieces and you don't have to edit them afterwards so you can get for example a rewind or a nudge on
You should read that article
So guys they're also working on offline and online searches
They're coming. I can imagine see it in the next few months or at least the next month at the very least
