Hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel on today's video
We're diving into how you can use the gallery function inside of notion to create recipes
To organize your own journal and even start projects too. So we're going to dive into that in today's video
So guys just before we dive into this video
You can check out the new PDF. It has over a 1,250
Not that I'm being specific downloads already. There's no sign up
It's just a beginner's guide to notion that will take you through several useful insights and also a little plug as well to
Join, the newsletter the monthly newsletter from Keep Productive which gives you outlines to all of the best tools resources and content
So please do check that out below. So guys. Yes. We are diving into the new gallery function
You may be seeing it here in front of you
that's because I'm starting now to use it as my
Almost pinned notes experience and I'm gonna explain why at the end of this video
So if you want to stay tuned for that
Just wait to this end as a video so we actually show you how the gallery functions works today
so I'm really just gonna simply create a page get started by creating a
Recipe guide and then I'm going to dive into how to create a journal as well as also use it for projects, too
so let's dive in so the really simple way to create a
brand new gallery in line is by pressing the slash button and typing in gallery so you can create a full page gallery if you
Wanted to if you wanted a lovely full-bleed one. But in this case, I'm just gonna create a very simple
Gallery in line. So here we are. I'm gonna say
recipes and what I'm going to be doing is
I'm gonna create a couple of recipes for a couple of things that I find on Google so I'm gonna create populate it
Ok. So what I've done is I've saved three pictures of all of these things here
So let's start with the carrot cake
And the first thing that you can do is actually grab hold of it inside of your finder and actually drag it on
Now as you can see, it's created one here
So I actually didn't need to create this one
And as you can see right here is actually created an automatic thumbnail for it so I can actually get rid of this one
And I can go into this one and rename this one carrot cake
Now this is absolutely killing me because I am a big fan of carrot case I have won pretty much every Thursday
So let's add the other images for the other two, so just to be clear
That's one thing it doesn't do if you drag in images it's tends to make the actual image thing for it
But if you want to actually add the image below it
All you have to do is drag it as part of the page content and as you can see it appears here
But in this case, I'm actually just going to get rid of this one and do the same for this easy pancakes over here
so if you want everything inside of the contents to be showing so for example
these images all you have to do is go to properties and
Make sure the page content is shown. If you don't have it showing you see a very plain experience and that's not so great
If you're using it, for example for a recipe because you want to see the recipe now if I click into carrot cake
It's really simple. What I'm gonna start doing is start adding a few properties based on what I want to have with the ingredients
Okay, so here we go
I've pre created a few things actually copied them from Google because I probably would butcher a carrot cake if I actually made yet now
I've added a simple type and as you can imagine once you edit these all of the others are edited inside of the gallery
So I can start adding these in a moment
Now as you can imagine I can click here and as you can see
It sounds the actual time. I created it in this extent
I'm actually gonna delete this one because there's no need to have this but I put type here and that's how you simple dessert
I basically pasted the ingredients for the feature here. Although I could have put them at the bottom with the methods
I've also added a number here for time taken and how many people will serve
When I actually bake it and as you can see here down below the image is a nice
Method of how to create that so that I don't go wrong
Now the final icing on the cake and that really was an awful pun is the icon. So I'm just gonna put a carrot
And it should appear here
So as you can see in lovely carrot appears and you've got the pure bitter resistance and everything there now
I can do this really easily now for this. I'm gonna actually put this one as a dessert
I could add the ingredients the time taken and how many people it serves as well
it's the method below and if you shared this with other people you can add comments and
Relevant icons there now if I wanted to just I find the pancake icon, which I don't know exists
Yes, it does exist. Then. I could easily do that there and that's a really easy way to create a recipe gallery inside of notion
So next up is a journal
So let's delete this one or actually, I don't wanna delete because I've done such a good job at creating it
I'm going to actually create a
Journal experience here. So as you can see
I've created a new one in line of cleared it and what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to add a new entry
so this could be new or let's say a day at
the at
chester zoo which we went to recently
so I'm Jessica and a few properties and then I'm going to
Populate it just to demonstrate what you can do if it was a get if it was a journal
Okay, so here we are
I've just created a brand new
Journal entry and this can be really easy to do and really easy to create an under gallery and what I quite like about it
Is it's very visual and easy to do now before I show you what this looks like inside. There's a demonstration
I'm gonna go up here to
properties and as I mentioned before you can really thin this down if you wanted to but in this case
I'm actually gonna keep that content
so for example
If you didn't want any images you didn't have to have that but I'm going to demonstrate is that you could have all of these
Different properties on say for example, maybe I wanted to see the date. I wanted to see the location
Maybe I want to see the mood
I was in on in this case how many steps I walked because I know a lot of people like that or the type of
Activity, so I'm gonna keep the type of activity on and as you can see here. There's quite a nice outline
So I visited September 1st 21st Chester Zoo, it was and the day out there. So if I click in you can see here
I've added the date for when the actual date it was on the type of day out. It was so you could have that
I know some people like to track their mood with stuff like that and also location. I don't know. There's no location property here
So I can't specifically
Assign it to something and how many steps walked because I know people like to connect that and down below here
I could maybe start entering what it would the experience was like and that's quite an easy way to create a journal
Now to round things off. I'm going to create some projects. So let's time into that. It's the final piece of the puzzle
Okie dokie. So let's say I'm planning an event conference
I'm going to create a brand new gallery entry for that and start to populate the properties area
So as you can see here
I've created the event conference a basic card inside of this gallery so you can see here that I added it created
I'm just gonna create and dates of event actually changed the title of it
But I've put them between two dates in M date as well as setting a reminder for two days before
So that's it quite a neat way to be able to see stuff and if I wanted to at any given point I could change
That into a calendar. So for example if I wanted to go, okay, I actually want to see this as a calendar view
So I get an idea of when the events conference is coming up I can easily do so so that's an added bonus of adding
Things at the spread out if I click here again, I can see the event type I can see the people that are involved
I can also add event details. And in this case, I'm gonna actually gonna add a file. So there we are
I've added a basic the actual file for this one. I've also got a checkbox as well
So that's a simple chat box property type here that I can tick and cross as well as notes below now
I've also created inside of the page content a table view so that I can see the guest list and
Some of the people that are invited if I delete this one cuz I actually added that one in
I also added some email addresses in this case and just needs to change it up with the email and also the
phone numbers of those people
So that's a really easy way to be able to add a table below and as you can see here
It's in lovely gallery view so you could have a few projects that
Outstand here if I went over to properties I could quite easily see the date of the event or the event type for example
Or even get a the actual event file available
So for example if I went to event details
I can actually view it like I can't preview there and I can also see the antral checklist
So if I wanted to to checklist items just to appear here
They wouldn't be actually clickable, but you could then go in and actually click them. So it's almost a preview. They're
Not anything there and also you could get the people that were invited to but in this case
I'm just going to keep things super duper simple
You could also if you wanted to for example if you added a cover
and it also brought up that cover you could see that the cover gets important that something I didn't know just before but that's
Possible if you just go to page cover if you wanted page contents, you could see that there now
It's a really simple way to create some recipes journals and projects inside of gallery view
I'm gonna go back to home because I want to demonstrate what I've done with my own layout
So I have like pinned area here
I'll probably demonstrates in the full notion set up video, but I actually used I have a pinned area here
But I've actually created a gallery here and the reason why I done that is because I wanted my inbox on my daily
Long to be in this sort of view
so the real benefit of this is when I click in I get this almost like
tab view of it
So I get this really lovely outline work and start adding
Articles now actually has been a lot better in terms of be able to add stuff because it's not like a preview window
I can actually open up as a full page if I wanted to like a euston would have but in this case
I've actually just got its own welcome tab, too
So I could click in and view that as a page if I wanted to but in this case
It's just like a preview and the way you get the preview is go to properties and actually just have page content on can't preview
If I want to do I can and obviously the tags and stuff. I don't have any that's related now
I've also done this for my daily log so that I can quickly access
a little bit of a journal that I'm experimenting with a health area that I'm also
Experimenting with and still going with and also my workout routine and whether I've done it or not as well as the personal budget area
Which I've only recently started so galleries is an experimental function. One thing I notice is you just saw it there
It tastes a little bit of a second or two to load. So do take note of that
