DIY Navigation in Notion in 5 quick steps.

If your workspace is growing exponentially then a DIY Navbar is what you need to quickly jump to important pages.

Let’s build one together step by step.

1. Add a callout inside of a new page by the shortcut /callout

2. Write the names of all important pages on your Notion Workspace separated by “|” in the callout.

3. Link each page name with the URL of the respective Navigation Items.

Pro Tip: Use the link of the most utilized view instead of the whole database.

4. Check all links and move the Navbar to a Synced Block. Add a Synced Block by /synced shortcut.

5. Copy the synced block and add it to a Project or Team Member’s Template page. This way everyone on the team can use them.

Pro Tip: Give View only access to the team to the Navbar Page inside of which the callout exists, this would prevent accidental edits by the team.
