_Ready to design your perfect productivity system in Notion? Our upcoming course[Supercharge Your Productivity]() is your first step to transforming your life and career._ Do you prefer video instructions to a written blog post? No worries, we’ve got you covered: It’s a familiar pattern – within days of setting up Notion, you’ve created a page that’s not only functional and beautiful and you’re ready to share it with the world. Maybe it’s [a GTD task manager]() that your colleague wants to use; the recipe database you use with your spouse; or a dashboard for a consulting client. Notion has sharing in its DNA and makes it super simple (i.e. just a single click) to share any page as a template. ## How Notion templates work Templates are Notion pages that you can import, use and modify in your individual workspace. You can find templates in Notion’s own [template gallery](), [on Reddit]() and even via [individual creators on Gumroad](). Since all public Notion pages have URLs, templates can also be used as lead magnets or attached to social media profiles. If you’ve made a page accessible to the public as a template, once they land on the URL they’ll have the ability to __duplicate the page__ into their workspace. Create Notion templates and share your mastery with the world, or duplicate existing templates into your own workspace. ## How to share a template To share a page as template follow the following three steps: __Step 1: Share the individual page__ Click on the top right share button to access sharing options. Sharing options are easy to find at the top of each page. __Step 2: Share to the web__ First toggle the “share to the web setting” and then toggle the “allow duplicate as template.” It’s simple to turn each sharing setting on and off, and they can be changed at any time. __ Step 3: Grab, then share the URL__ Click on the “share as page link button.” If you want your page to be indexed by search engines, select the appropriate toggle. Copy your unique page URL and let the sharing commence. ## Two quick warnings Before you go bonkers sharing your templates, please consider two issues: __privacy__ and __related tables__. Any page that is nested within the shared page (i.e. all sub pages) will also be accessible within the template. So check that you are ok with sharing sub-pages. Next, if you have related tables (i.e. databases), the links will likely break – resulting in frustration for your users. So when creating templates, use the K.I.S.S. methodology: _Keep it simple, stupid!_ Lastly, this should not be confused with another powerful Notion feature: the [template button](). The template button allows the owner of a page to duplicate groups of blocks with one click and is powerful for creating logs, book notes and standardized entries (like a daily journal). While this is a separate feature, any template page that you share – can include a template button. It makes for a nice touch, so give it a shot!
