Creating custom templates in Notion can be an effective way to save time and streamline your workflow by using a template that is tailored to your specific needs. Here's how you can create custom templates for your own use:

  1. Creating a new page or database: You can start by creating a new page or database that you want to use as a template. This can be a new project, a to-do list, a calendar, or any other type of page or database you want to use as a template.
  2. Customizing the template: Once you have created the page or database, you can customize it to suit your needs by adding your own content, editing the layout, and changing the properties of the template. For example, you can add specific columns, set up specific views, or add pre-populated content to the template.
  3. Saving as a custom template: After customizing the template, you can save it as a custom template by clicking the ... icon on the top right corner and select "Save as template". This will save the custom template to your template library, and it will be available for you to use anytime.
  4. Reusing the template: Once you have saved the template, you can reuse it by going to the template library, where you can find your custom template under "My templates" section. You can then use it to create new pages or databases, and all the customizations will be retained.
  5. Collaboration and Sharing: You can also share the custom templates with your team members and collaborate on them. This way, everyone on your team can have access to the same templates and work from the same starting point.

Creating custom templates in Notion can help you save time and streamline your workflow. By creating a custom template that is tailored to your specific needs, you can quickly get started on new projects or tasks without having to create everything from scratch. Additionally, the ability to reuse the template, share it with your team members, and collaborate on it will help to keep everyone on the same page, and make it easy for teams to work together on similar projects or tasks.
