0:56
Workspaces and then each workspace has different notes that we can take we can create different projects and manage them
1:02
So here we have our main workspace that we created here We have search updates all team spaces settings and members
1:09
So we can also invite a team member to our notion in order to add a member
1:15
You can go to the member section here click on add member and enter their email address
1:20
so all you need to do is just enter the email address click on invite and a team member or a
1:26
Classmate will be invited to join you on these notes Here on notion we get a lot of different templates to work on so you can actually go to the template section right here
1:37
At the bottom and select the template of your choice. There are different templates. We have to-do lists projects and tasks
1:43
Meetings documents and we have design in design We have a design portfolio design system design sprint and we have reading this weekly to-do list and we have notes product
1:53
Then we have presentations. We have social media calendars available in sales. We have sales CRM
1:59
We have different support and in student. We also have class notes and more So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna actually select a template from here for my notes
2:07
So we saw this one right here, which is a one-on-one notes for a product management
2:13
So I can either go with this one or I can go for class notes as well
2:17
So maybe like we can go with this one or we can create notes of our own
2:22
So I'm gonna go with this option right here, which is the notes so in note template
2:26
I will be able to create different add different documents. We will be able to add links
2:31
We will be able to add different due dates then we have types and different classes and manage them better
2:37
So actually let's get this template. So once you create a new
2:42
Project right here. It's added now you can see it's called class note now if you do not want to create the class note, of course
2:49
You can change the name here and you can also change the logo and convert them into work notes, too
2:54
but this is actually a really good template because we have like You know different material here and we have open option where I will be able to check the notes that I created
3:03
So these are the notes that we already got But what we're gonna do is we're gonna open one of these and let me show you how it is
3:10
So this is the note right here. We have our main, you know name for instance. We have this one here
3:16
We got our class we type and this is the note right here the whole notes for this class
3:21
This is how it has been added and a lot of notes like this. Okay, so let's create our own note here
3:27
What I'm gonna do is we're gonna click right here in new and give it a name. Let's call it test note
3:34
Like this click Enter and a note is created. Let's open it up
3:39
So here first of all, we have the name now we can add an icon and I can let's say I want to go for
3:47
This one right here. Then we have created this is going to be the created date
3:51
Then we have class so we can add different properties into a different class that we have that we have already created
3:58
So we will be able to add right here. For instance. This is actually mat
4:02
630 so I'm gonna add it right here. Then we have type in types We have created lecture section seminar study group or reading. So this is a lecture that I'm taking note for then we have material
4:13
So this is where I will be able to upload a file I'm gonna upload a PDF file or we can embed a link as well
4:19
For instance any document any note that you found somewhere any material that you have for this note right here
4:25
You will be able to paste it here and then we have the reviewed option as well
4:29
For instance, if you have reviewed the note or not, you will be able to select from here
4:33
We can also add more properties into it. So let's actually do that. For instance. We have a person we have URL email phone and more
4:41
Let's go with a person because if it's a work note and you want to assign it to somebody or if you want to share
4:47
It with a person you will be able to do so So now I will be able to select a team member for instance. I want to add this person as well
4:55
I will add them here. So make sure you can add more properties here to create a very professional note
5:01
We can also add a cover to our note here and then this is where we will enter
5:06
With your slash command you will also be able to add a to-do list if you want to go for a brainstorm ideas blog post
5:13
And more for instance, we have essay poem then we have job description outline
5:18
Press release and more so with slash command you will get more options
5:22
Other than that, you can just start writing here and take your note
5:26
So this actually works really good on an iPad or your mobile phone as well You can download the notion app and you will be able to use it
5:33
So at the top here again We have the share option click on share and you will be able to share with your different team members or different
5:39
Projects that we have. This is how you will take a note For instance, I typed here and now I have a note already. So this way I will have like more and more notes here
5:49
I will have a huge list if I want to organize them better
5:53
I can add different filters into it and I will be able to customize them
5:58
According to different, you know subjects and different, you know filters that I have created here
6:04
Similarly, we have the new option here in new. I will be able to quickly add a new note
6:10
To my project we can also change the you know description here for instance. This is the description
6:16
I can actually get rid of it and Maybe add my own description. So let's actually do that
6:21
For instance, this was a work note, right? You want to take work notes
6:26
So what you will do is you will change the you know name of this template
6:30
For instance, we have work like so and then we have the icon
6:34
So in icon I can now change it. I have added this icon here. I can also add a cover and
6:40
Maybe add description Moving on what I will do is I will actually change the different types we have and different, you know properties to it
6:48
So for that you can actually create a new note here or you can actually you know, swipe a little bit here
6:54
You're gonna move your cursor and here we have add property option So click on add property and you can add the property of maybe status we have email and more
7:04
So let's go with status here for work notes So it will call status and in statuses we have different statuses that we can add for instance
7:12
We have not started in progress and done So I'm gonna actually add this property right here and it will be added right here
7:19
If you want to delete a status then you can select it from here and delete this
7:23
Sorry the property you will be able to delete it. For instance. I do not want to add this class
7:28
I have work notes now I don't need to add a class so I can just delete this property from here and customize this template completely according to my
7:37
Notes, so taking a note is actually really easy and if you want to upload a file again
7:43
Once you create a note You will be able to upload your PDF files that you have if you have any work files
7:49
You will be able to add them right here Similarly, I will be able to create different notes and we can actually divide these notes into different or you know workspaces
7:58
You can see we have all of these workspaces here. We can also create Private workspaces and they will be shown here. Then we have import option and trash at the bottom and then we have a new page
8:09
So this page right here has all of these different team spaces and I can just create a new page a brand new page
8:15
With different pages in it different templates that I will be able to add and then we can also add the
8:20
Tables and boards a timeline and calendar So if you want to get started from the scratch
8:25
Then you will create a new page first and then your page will have all of these different notes and team spaces or private
8:32
Workspaces. So this is how notion.so works and I'm using the free version right here and you can see we're getting all of these options
8:38
There is a pricing plan for notion as well. Let me show you so you can see we have a free plan
8:43
And then we have one for $8 per user per month if built annually
8:46
There is a business for $15 per user per month if built annually and then there is an enterprise
8:52
So it's not that expensive and gives us unlimited Tools and options to take notes. This brings us to the end of the video. I hope that I was a big help
