Thank so much for a clear video!! With many notion youtubers the screen isnt very clear! loved this created me a template in a database from following your steps and I had watched 3 videos before I watched yours and only yours showed three different ways.

Great video, thanks I find it stupid that I have to keep my templates in a database within a page, it should let us have the templates added to our settings so we can just use the template across all of Notion, now I have to find a way to incorporate an eyesore of a template into my page, very annoyed

Thanks! Well, at least now you know. What types of things are you working on? Maybe theres a better tool for what you're doing.

Cool! but I was wondering how can I make my template available from the "+" in my workspace tree. I can only see the "suggested" pre defined templates but I want to see my own templates there. Can I do that?

Unfortunately not. Thats not possible. You'll need to Create a database, and create templates there. Or you could create that template button, and have that button create a page with a specified format. The + button in your workspace tree is for creating pages exclusively, theres no ability to templetize that beyond the samples that Notion provides.

Nice video Tom. Question.. I'm trying to figure out how to insert a block of text anywhere on any page easily. For example, I use Obsidian and there you can simply create pages that have text in them in a special folder called templates. Then on any page, you can simply click on a Template button in the left nav bar and insert the text inline on whatever page you're on. I can't seem to figure out how to do that in Notion. Feels like the templates are specific to the DB, for example. Is there a way to have a global set of pages that you can simply "insert" easily inline in pages?

This is a great question. In short, no. This is a major difference between obsidian and notion. Notion does not have “global templates” and you cannot reference them from anywhere on a page. The closest you can get to that is a database with templates for the database. Thanks for commenting. Hope the videos were still helpful.
