Build a space home page
Give a space a Notion-style landing page that orients its members.
Intermediate · ~10 min · Prerequisites: editor access to a space
Editing a Space's content requires editor or owner access. Viewers can open and read a Space but can't change it.
What you'll do
Open a Space's Home view, add a title and intro paragraph, lay out sections around what matters to the team, and keep the page fresh as the Space grows.
Open the Home page
Open the Space from the Your spaces list in the sidebar or from the /content hub. The first tab you land on is Home — this is the editable landing page that every member sees when they arrive.
If the Space was just created, Home shows a blank canvas with a placeholder prompt. Click anywhere in the editor to start.
Add a title and intro
Type a clear, action-oriented title at the top — for example, the Space name plus a short purpose statement such as "Engineering — where we keep specs and decisions". Below it, write one or two sentences that answer the question every new member will ask: what is this Space for and how should I use it?
Keep both short. Members skim the Home page; the detail lives in the documents further in.
Lay out sections
Use headings to break the page into the groups that matter for this Space. Typical patterns:
- Quick links — a short list of the two or three documents people open most often.
- Getting started — onboarding steps for someone joining the Space for the first time.
- Announcements — a place to post updates that don't need a full document.
- Useful contacts — who owns what in this Space.
You don't have to use all of these. Keep only the sections that genuinely help members navigate — every extra heading raises the maintenance cost.
For live, auto-updating content (recent documents, a member list), see Add live widgets to layer in widgets after you've set the static layout.
Keep it current
The Home page is the front door of the Space. When the team's focus shifts, update the intro and quick-link list to match. Remove sections that no longer apply.
A stale Home page signals to members that the Space is unmaintained. Treat the first 100 words as the one thing you always keep up to date. For the full reference on what Home supports, see The home page.
