Apply your new knowledge about blocks and editing to build a standard operating procedure doc for your team.
Blocks are the way you build in Notion. Everything that sits on a page is a block including text, images, and tables.
You can mix and match different blocks to create unique pages and tools for your team.
There are six main block categories (and over 500 blocks types) in Notion:
• Basic blocks
• Database
• Media
• Embeds
• Advanced blocks
• In-line options
Every page you create in Notion is a fresh canvas where you can add whatever content you want.
When you open a new page, just start typing. You’ll notice other features fade away so you can focus on getting your thoughts on the page.
• Create sections using headings like , H1, , , H2, or , H3, .
• Highlight any text to bring up a menu of options and tools. From here you can style your text, add a hyperlink and more.
• Or, format text using markdown syntax to style without ever moving your mouse.
◦ Add a , toggle list, to hide less important information.
◦ Try columns to split up content.
◦ Add a , divider, to help organize your sections.

Synced block allows you to embed content from one Notion page to another or multiple pages. To create a synced block, you can start with a synced block by typing the slash command and then typing synced. You can then create or drag blocks into the synced block. Once created, you can copy and paste the synced block to any other page in your workspace. The synced block exists in multiple locations, and any changes made to it will be reflected across all instances. However, you can unsync a particular instance if needed. Additionally, you can turn any other block into a synced block by using the original turn into command. For more ideas on how to use synced blocks, check out the video and article linked in the description. If you have any questions, you can reach out to TomFrankly on Twitter or leave a comment below.
