Using Notion global blocks to create a navigation bar

[@solilos]

Thank you for this. I don't know how come i didn't see it before. It now works even better with the new "Synched blocks"!

[@toolsontech]

Yeah, the synced block makes it much easier to pull off. Glad Notion implemented it.

[@MartinSchabbauer]

Thank you. The combination of humor and seriousness - I love it. The attention to detail - brilliant. Thank you for the entertainment AND tips & tricks that I will implement in my Notion Life Operating System.

[@toolsontech]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment, made my day. The combination of informative and entertaining is what I'm aiming for, so glad to hear it's showing in the result :)

The Global feature is a game changer! Top Content

[@isarichter6171]

I’ve been trying to make something like this for a while but I didn’t know about this feature. This is awesome!!! Thank you so much for posting this.

[@toolsontech]

So glad it's helping people!

If you highlight the emojis on the bar and select a text color, then hovering over an emoji button will make the bar that underlines it take on that same color.

[@toolsontech]

Awesome tip! Thanks for sharing

[@skybluejenny]

Wow, my mind is blown. Thank you for sharing this, on my way to adding a navigational bar :)

[@greenlizard812]

Thanks for the awesome Global Header trick! Loved it!

[@toolsontech]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Notion added synced blocks. Now it's easier than ever,

[@ALinNZ2]

I've never seen global blocks mentioned before - super useful

[@toolsontech]

Glad it was useful, Danny Hatcher pointed me to the global blocks and this is the most obvious use for it.

[@cami3402]

Thank you love for the so much needed help Pls do more of notion tutorials.

[@toolsontech]

I got a lot more in the work, my current one is taking a bit longer though but hope to have it finished this week. Made it to complex so had to fine tune it.

[@GustavoOcampoBecerra]

BRO YOU Save my Day! Thank you very much!!!!

[@liamblu]

Saved my freaking day!

[@cami3402]

Ive seen this from Danny Hatcher and been wondering so long

[@toolsontech]

I'm glad Danny pointed me to the global block bit, it helped a lot in getting my navbar perfected.

[@GunHudson]

Amazing idea thanks Bas!

[@toolsontech]

Glad it's useful!

[@makedeimpossiblehappenii8157]

I haven't seen this from anyone, Thank you!

[@toolsontech]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@acornlee2318]

I was waiting exactly this!! Thanks a lot!

[@toolsontech]

Well, I did promise you to have it on Monday. Glad it's useful!

[@pinkkryboard157]

This is amazing! But how can I get that hover effect on each icons?

[@toolsontech]

I'm not sure if we still can, Notion has changed a lot since I released the video with it's own synced block setup and such.

[@Luxxen101]

Yes! 😁

[@cami3402]

I added the emojis as columns, dragging it to the side until a line appears and then drop it. after that when I clicked on a emoji the link appears

[@toolsontech]

If the emojis are in columns then they are different blocks I think, do they update on other pages if you update them in your space?

[@Ranaunity]

how can i get this to work on a mac the ctrl shift v is not working for me

[@toolsontech]

Hey, this video is quite old and Notion released their synced blocks function in the meantime. You can get the same result using that.

[@legzz187]

Thanks! x

[@toolsontech]

Hey Eliah Rei, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShaneMagic]

Thanks for this. Pretty awesome. Is there a way to add a more custom icon that is not part of the defaults ? I would like to use icons from here : www.notion.vip/icons/

[@toolsontech]

Oh, I missed this one. That would be awesome, but I haven't found a solution for this yet since you can't link images and icons can only be added as pages. If I do find a way to link images then I'll be sure to put it in a video.

[@mkay232]

now easier with synced Blocks

[@toolsontech]

Very much so, wondering if I should make an updated version of this video
