Step 1: Start typing in a text or heading block

To add a backlink in Notion, you'll need to start typing in any text or heading block. This can be a new page or an existing page that you're editing.

Step 2: Type '@' followed by the name of the page or database you'd like to link

Once you're ready to add a backlink, type '@' followed by the name of the page or database you'd like to link. As you type, Notion will search for pages and databases that match what you're typing, and display a list of suggestions.

Step 3: Select your desired page or item

To create the backlink, simply select your desired page or item from the list of suggestions. This will insert a backlink into your text, which you can then click on to navigate to the linked page or database.

Step 4: Click on the underlined backlink to navigate to the linked page

The backlink will be inserted into your text, and will be underlined to indicate that it is a link. To navigate to the linked page or database, simply click on the underlined backlink.

Step 5: View and navigate back to your linked page using the backlink feature

On the target page, you'll see an underlined subheading under the page title indicating that there is a backlink to this page. You can click on this to see which pages are linking to the current page, and quickly navigate back to linked pages using the backlink feature.
