Add descriptions to views & properties

Christmas, or not, Notion hasn't finished surprising us. Last week, they shipped a new feature that allows for views and property descriptions. It's super useful if you work as a team or if, like me, you share templates with other people.

  • To add a description to a view: click on your view → "rename" → then click the "information" icon at the right of the view name and add your description.
  • To add a description to a property: click on your property → "rename" → then click the "information" icon at the right of the property name and add your description.

To view the description of any view or property, simply hover over them, and the description will appear on a black background.
