A page can be anything from a simple note or to-do list, to a complex project plan or document. You can create as many pages as you want in Notion, and organize them into a hierarchy of parent and child pages, or into databases and views. This flexibility allows you to structure and organize your information in any way that makes sense to you and your team, making it easy to find and access the data you need.
Here are some examples of how pages can be used in Notion:
- Personal project management: Use pages to create a project plan, a to-do list, or a personal journal.
- Team project management: Use pages to create a project timeline, a task list, or a meeting agenda.
- Knowledge management: Use pages to create a company-wide knowledge base, a team-specific knowledge base, or a personal knowledge base.
- Document management: Use pages to create a document library, a contract repository, or a project-specific document folder.
- Data management: Use pages to create a customer database, a product catalog, or an employee directory.
