How to Create a Template in Notion

Notion comes with a rich library of built-in templates. However, creating a custom template helps you duplicate multiple content and blocks with a single click. Thereby increasing your project’s efficiency and improving the workflow.

Notion allows you to create a custom template with the help of the template button. In this guide, we will explain how to create a template in Notion.

  1. Start by putting together the template, block by block, in a separate and blank section of your page. You can also use a built-in template from the library and make the necessary changes to it.
