Neue Funktionen

Hello from San Francisco! If you're like us, you're probably just getting used to working at home. Notion went full remote last week to help contain COVID19 here in San Francisco, and we figured we weren't alone in trying to stay connected and on track. So, a couple of our engineers spent the last week building features to make collaborating at a distance easier and better.

Here's what we have so far, but there's more to come.

• Better notifications — now with an inbox 📬
  We reimagined the All Updates menu for desktop and mobile to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. Here's what changed:

  • Your most relevant notifications will arrive in the Inbox section. Click the X button to archive an update, or Archive All to hit inbox zero.

  • The Following section now includes an Unfollow this page button, so you can curate these notifications to be more relevant.

  • The new Archived section is your home for notifications that've already been acted on. This lets you minimize your Inbox so that it only includes tasks that still need your attention. Use the Unarchive button to put something back on your radar.

• Better page presence avatars 🍪
  Be present with your team, even when you're apart.
  When other people are viewing the same page as you, click on their avatar at the top to jump to wherever they're reading or editing.
