Adding Properties to a Notion Database

‍

Step 1: Open Your Notion Database

First thing first, you need to either create a new database or open an existing database in Notion where you want to add properties.

‍

Step 2: Create a New Property

Once your database is open, click on "+ Add a property" that appears just above your page content. This will open a dropdown menu with various property types you can choose from.

‍

Step 3: Define Your Property

Choose the type of property that best fits your requirements from the dropdown menu. Following this, provide a name for your property. Depending on your chosen type, you might need to fill in further details. For example, if you choose 'Select', you should add the potential options for selection.

‍

Step 4: Save Your Property

Finally, save your changes. You can do this either by clicking outside of the property area or by simply hitting Enter. Your newly added property should now show up at the top of your Notion page, neatly aligned with any pre-existing properties.

Adding Properties to a Notion Page

If your page isn't a database item, you can't add properties. Properties are exclusive to databases and can only be added within them. To add properties to your existing Notion page, follow these steps:

1. Create a new database
2. Drag your page into your database: it will convert it to a database item
3. Add the desired properties to your Notion database

In conclusion, adding properties to a Notion page is a robust feature that can simplify your workflow by providing custom tailored solutions just a few clicks away. The process is straightforward and quick, meaning anyone can harness the power of customization that Notion provides.

As your comfort level with Notion increases, you'll find adding and implementing different properties can enhance your productivity and revolutionize the way you organize your ideas and tasks.
