EVERYTHING Notion Launched in 2024 (MASSIVE UPDATES!) - YouTube

Things I think are most useful here:

  • Options for customizing Notion Websites
  • Notion forms that can trigger tasks
  • Buttons inside of databases. For instance you can imagine a button that "moves a task to QA". You can also trigger formulas
  • Much better task management
  • Home view has some potential
  • Pinned tab
  • Automations that can trigger all sorts of different workflows, like setting different properties based on others
  • Suggested edits
  • Comments inside of database properties
