What is Notion?
Notion is the all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. Teams can connect these components to create their own systems for knowledge management, note taking, data management, project management, among others. You can mold Notion any way you want to build the documents, tools and systems you need to build your team's operating system.

โ๏ธ How do I share my work and collaborate with others in Notion?
To manage sharing & permissions, use the
Share menu in the top right-hand corner of any page. This menu lets you share the current page and its sub-pages with others in a number of ways.Step 1: Decide who to share this page with
Share with workspace: Turning this on gives everyone in your workspace the ability to see the page. In the example below that is under "Share with Acme Inc".
Share with group: You may also see groups that have been created in your workspace, which you can assign different access levels to. In the example below there is a permission group called "Designers".
Invite people: Lets you invite someone to access this page whether they do or don't belong to your workspace.
Copy link: Makes the page easy to share. The link will only work for people who have access based on your other settings.

Step 2: Decide on the level of access you want to grant other people
Full access: People with full access to a page can edit any of the content it contains and share the page with anyone they want using all the mechanisms in this guide.
Can edit: Select this level of access for people or groups who should be able to edit the content on the page, but not share the page.
Can comment: Select this level of access for people and groups who should only have the ability to comment on a page's content, not actually edit it. They also can't share the page with others.
Can view: People with can view access can simply read the content on the page, but not comment on it or edit it. They also can't share the page with others.
