Notion gives you one place for your team's notes, docs, and projects - so you can work together, no matter where you are. But what does this look like in practice? Here's a quick guide for setting up a workspace that can help your team stay connected and organized ✨

1. Create a knowledge base

Put all of your team's most important information - announcements, benefits, policies, goals, etc. - on one page. That way, everyone shares a central source of truth and can immediately find the answers they need. Template here →

2. Manage projects together

Create one shared database for all your team's projects so everyone can see what's going on and the progress that's getting made. Every card on this board is a project that can be assigned, given a due date, and tagged to match your workflow. Template here →

3. Share meeting notes

When working remote, it's hard to know who's meeting and how decisions are being made. More transparency means more speed, clarity, and better morale across your team. Build one shared home for meeting notes that shows the when, what, why and who. Template here →

4. Centralize your docs

Distributed teams run on documentation - from feature proposals to product specs to marketing plans. Add a docs database to your workspace to keep all of this organized and collaborative. Request feedback, make stronger decisions, and build team memory. Template here →

5. Give every team a home

Create a homepage for every project or functional team in your org - right in your sidebar. This gives them a dedicated space to organize and document their work however they want. And it puts that info one click away for anyone else who wants to understand what's happening.
