Notion is a creative productivity application where you can write, plan, collaborate, and organize your work. One of the great features it offers is the ability to customize tables, databases, and pages to your liking, allowing you to effortlessly fit your projects into your preferred structure and design. Among these customizations is the ability to change the title column's name. This may seem like a small feature, but it lets you tailor your workspace even further, adding individuality and specificity to your tasks and projects. In this blog post, we will explore how to change the title column in Notion as of 2024.
Key Takeaways
- Notion allows you to rename the Title column.
- You can easily rename the title property by accessing the property settings.
- Notion doesn't allow you to change the type of the title column.
Rename the Title Column in Notion
Step 1: Open your Table or Database
The first step is to navigate to the page containing the table or database where you want to change the title column. If you don't have one yet, create a new one.
Step 2: Navigate to the Title Column
Once you're in your table or database, locate the Title column. By default, every table and database in Notion starts with this column, which contains each entry's main descriptor or name.
Step 3: Click on the Title Header
After finding the Title column, click on the column header, an action that prompts a dropdown menu.
Step 4: Rename the Title Column
In the dropdown menu, select the Rename option. This will cause the Title header to become editable. Simply type in your desired name and hit Enter on your keyboard to apply the new name.
Edit the Type of the Title Column in Notion
It is not possible to edit the type of property of Notion's title column. This property must always be a string of text. But it's not an ID property, so you can have mutliple items with the exact same title.
Conclusion
Easing your navigation and understanding of your tasks and projects in Notion is as simple as customizing your workspace significantly to fit your style, including renaming your Title column. This minor change can lead to better organization, ease identification, and personalize your workspace to your tasks. With the steps listed above, you can modify the Title column in Notion to your preference without any difficulty.
The change allows your databases, tables, and pages to reflect more accurately the content they hold, improving your overall productivity and Notion experience.
Remember, true productivity comes from incorporating personal touch in your workspace, and Notion provides you with these customizations to ensure you have a smooth workflow.
