Tracked by the FLO.W team
The community has been asking for H4 for years — and it's finally here. Type #### on any page or select "Heading 4" from the menu.
Heading 4 appears in the sidebar Table of Contents, making long-document navigation more precise. Many users previously resorted to toggles or bold text to simulate a fourth heading level — that workaround is no longer needed.
Sharing AI conversation results used to mean taking screenshots or copy-pasting, with formatting often breaking in the process. Now you can generate a read-only link for any AI chat and send it directly.
Recipients can view the full conversation and results but cannot edit. Had AI help summarize meeting notes or compare proposals? Just share the link — no more stitching screenshots together.
Enterprise users can now choose to store workspace data in data centers located in Tokyo or Seoul, keeping data within the region.
Data residency is a hard requirement for many Japanese and Korean enterprises. Previously, Notion only supported data centers in the US and Europe — this update finally covers the Asia-Pacific region. All collaboration features work normally with no difference in experience.
Previously, using Notion's AI meeting notes on mobile was frustrating — switching to another app or locking your screen would stop the recording. You had to keep the screen on and Notion in the foreground the whole time.
Now AI meeting notes support background recording. Start a recording, then go check your files, reply to messages, or even lock your screen — the recording keeps going. Works on both iOS and Android.
Typing the same AI prompt over and over gets tedious — especially for repetitive tasks like "format my notes into a weekly report" or "extract key points from this article." Notion Skills solves exactly this problem.
Save your go-to prompts as "skills," then invoke them by selecting text and picking from the menu.
Or @ mention them in AI chat.
A skill is essentially a Notion page, so it can be shared with your team — everyone follows the same standardized workflow.
After using a workspace long enough, outdated pages pile up. Deleting them feels risky, but keeping them clutters your search results. The old workaround was stuffing them into an "Archive" folder and pretending they didn't exist.
Now Notion has an official Archive feature. Archived pages are hidden from search results by default, child pages get archived along with the parent, and database views automatically filter them out. You can always retrieve them when needed, but they stay out of your way day-to-day.
Available on Business and Enterprise plans.
Previously, Notion's AI meeting notes could only output in a fixed default format. If you wanted a specific structure — say, organized by topic with conclusions and action items per section — you'd have to restructure it manually.
Now you can set custom output instructions for AI meeting notes (AI transcription). Use one of the built-in templates or write your own, then set it as default so it automatically applies to every meeting going forward. You can also add team background information to improve transcription accuracy.
In some countries and industries, recording requires notifying all participants and obtaining consent. Notion has added a global audio consent policy that workspace admins can configure.
Once enabled, AI transcription automatically plays a consent statement before it starts recording. No more manual reminders each time, while still meeting compliance requirements. Primarily designed for enterprise scenarios with legal and regulatory obligations.
Teams using Salesforce for CRM used to have to switch over to Salesforce every time they needed customer details. With the new AI Connector, you can now search Salesforce accounts, leads, opportunities, and contacts right from Notion.
AI retrieves data across tools so you don't have to jump between systems. Available on Enterprise plans.
Dashboard is a brand-new database view type that combines boards, tables, charts, timelines, and more into one page. Previously, building an overview page meant stitching together linked views yourself — now Notion provides a native solution.
Need an image while writing a doc? Before, you'd have to open a separate AI image tool, generate it, download it, then upload it to Notion — way too many steps.
Now Notion can generate images natively. Type /ai and look for the AI image option, or describe what you need in a conversation with Notion Agent. It can produce cover images, photo-style images, charts, diagrams, and even slide visuals — generated and inserted directly into your page. No more switching back and forth.
Notion hasn't officially disclosed which image model they're using, but based on the output quality, it's almost certainly powered by Nano Banana's model.
Notion made several AI model updates this month — three in one go:
GPT-5.4 is here, OpenAI's latest flagship model. It excels at long-chain reasoning — planning, breaking down complex problems, and executing multi-step operations across your workspace.
GPT-5.4 mini and Nano have also been added to the Custom Agent model picker. They're faster and cheaper, ideal for simple tasks like formatting text or quick classification.
If your team stores files in Box, you can now connect it to Notion via the AI Connector. Once connected, you can search Box files directly in Notion, have AI summarize document contents, and compare file changes.
Setup path: Settings → Notion AI → AI Connectors → Box. Available on Enterprise plans.
Custom Agent now supports MiniMax M2.5 — the first open-weight model available in Notion.
Compared to proprietary models, basic tasks can cost up to 10x less. It's a great fit for agents that don't need top-tier reasoning, such as simple classification, format conversion, and information extraction. Notion continues to expand its model lineup without locking users into a single vendor.
Notion has been refining its sidebar experience, and now it's rolling out a completely redesigned version that brings together content browsing, message threads, and notifications — with much clearer navigation logic.
Custom Agents just got more powerful with new Mail and Calendar integrations. Agents can now automatically organize your inbox, schedule meetings, and prepare pre-meeting materials.
For example, you could set up an Agent to categorize unread emails every morning, or automatically compile relevant documents 30 minutes before each meeting. These tasks used to require manual effort or third-party automation tools — now you can handle it all within Notion.
I covered how to build an email Agent in detail in my Custom Agent practical use cases post, if you're interested.
Notion Custom Agents now support the MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing direct connections to external tools like Slack, Linear, Figma, GitHub, Ramp, HubSpot, and Wiz.
Previously, information across your tools was siloed — you had to jump between tabs to stay on top of everything. Now Agents can monitor activity across these tools and automatically categorize, route, and follow up, essentially adding an intelligent dispatch layer to your entire tool stack.
This is the flagship feature of Notion 3.3 and one of the biggest releases of the year.
Custom Agents are essentially virtual team members that run 24/7 in your Notion workspace. Set up their rules and triggers, and they keep working autonomously — no babysitting, no prompting. Routing bugs, answering team questions, updating docs, generating weekly reports — Agents handle the repetitive work.
The best part: no coding required. Non-technical users can build them too. Multi-user collaboration and multi-model switching are both supported.
For real-world use cases, check out Custom Agent practical examples — 7 automation scenarios from beginner to advanced.
Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro model is now available in Notion. Just open the model picker to switch to it.
With this addition, Notion now supports models from OpenAI (GPT series), Anthropic (Claude series), and Google (Gemini series). You can pick different models for different tasks — no vendor lock-in.
As workspaces grow, the sidebar gets overloaded fast. For many people it's either crammed with pages or given up on entirely.
Library is a full-page content management view that brings together teamspaces, recently visited pages, and favorites in one place. You can slim down the sidebar to just a few key entry points and access everything else from Library. Think of it as a file manager for your workspace.
In database Board and Gallery views, pages with embedded videos used to show only a cover image or blank space — no indication of what was inside.
Now you can preview and play videos right on the card. A handy improvement for content management, asset libraries, and video project boards.
Notion AI Agent can now show exactly what it changed on a page — which text was removed, what was added — so you can review the AI's work at a glance.
The quick search bar you open with CMD+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) just got a major refresh.
The biggest change is the new page preview. Search results now show a content summary alongside each result, so you can tell if it's the right page without clicking into it. Default filters are smarter too, adjusting the sort order based on your recent usage patterns.
Notion has expanded its nonprofit program. Eligible organizations can now get 50% off the Plus plan.
Previously this discount was only available in a few countries — now it covers over 25 countries and regions. If you know a nonprofit that uses or is considering Notion, it's worth checking eligibility.
Anthropic's two flagship models are now available in Notion:
Claude Opus 4.6 is the most capable Claude model to date, excelling at complex instructions, long document comprehension, and multi-step reasoning. Ideal for deep analysis and creative work. Claude Sonnet 4.6 is lighter and faster, suited for everyday conversations and quick Q&A.
A small but practical improvement. Previously, all Agent conversations used auto-generated titles, making it nearly impossible to find a specific chat among dozens.
Now you can manually rename any conversation — for example, "Q1 Budget Discussion" or "Competitor Analysis v2" — so it's easy to locate later. Available on both desktop and mobile.
If your team uses both Notion and Asana, checking task statuses used to mean switching back and forth between the two tools.
Now with the AI Connector, you can query Asana projects and task statuses directly within Notion, letting AI retrieve information across tools for you.
This one's been a long time coming. Previously, Simple Table cells in Notion only supported plain text — listing items meant awkward comma separation or just giving up.
Now you can use bullet lists inside table cells. Comparison tables, spec sheets, and feature checklists finally work the way they should.
Notion now supports 21 languages, with Arabic and Hebrew joining the lineup. This marks Notion's first-ever support for right-to-left (RTL) languages.
When you type in Arabic, text automatically aligns to the right; switch to English, and it aligns to the left. Notion detects the writing direction based on the first character you type. For mixed-language content, you can manually toggle the direction.
After selecting Arabic or Hebrew in settings, the entire interface mirrors — the sidebar moves to the right side. Both desktop and mobile are supported.
When processing emails in Notion Mail, saving important content used to mean manually copying it into a page. Now you can save an entire email to any database with a single click.
Great for scenarios that need organized archiving — client communication logs, vendor quotes, interview correspondence. Each email becomes a database entry, making it easy to filter and track later.
The AI Agent chat interface got a nice UX improvement — thinking processes and intermediate steps are now collapsed by default.
Previously, the Agent would display every single step as it worked through a task, filling up the chat with process details and forcing you to scroll past all of it to find the final result. Now it shows only the conclusion by default — click to expand if you want to see the details. Much cleaner.
