This video is a part of a Notion fundamentals course by Thomas Frank. The video focuses on the basics of Notion's page feature, which is a fundamental aspect of using Notion. The video demonstrates how to create and customize pages in Notion, explaining how pages function as a canvas for content and also as a tool for navigating within the workspace.
The video starts by introducing the concept of a page in Notion, explaining that it's a canvas where you can create whatever you want. It also highlights the unique way Notion handles navigation, where pages define your navigation structure. This is fundamentally different from traditional note-taking apps like Evernote, where content and navigation areas are separate.
The video then proceeds to guide viewers on how to create a new page in Notion, starting from a blank page. It explains how to add text, icons, covers, and even how to change font and font size. It also introduces the concepts of comments and backlinks, explaining how these features can be used to interact with and navigate through pages in Notion.
The video concludes by explaining the concept of nested pages in Notion, showing how you can create a hierarchical structure of pages. It also provides access to a hub page for the entire course, where viewers can find written versions of all lessons and duplicatable versions of example templates. The next video in the series will focus on Notion's writing system.
