Spells for Systems πŸͺ„ Issue # 20


Only one official Notion update, but only for Business and Enterprise plans, plus being stuck in a cyclone!

I'm waiting for Alfred to show up...

Today's update will be shorter than usual. I'm writing and scheduling this issue on Friday, March 7. That's 3 days earlier than normal. Because within the next 12 hours (max) there's a cyclone about to go over my home. As of right now, the eye will go right over us 😱

So I'm doing this newsletter preemptively in case we lose power (and we've been told it's a very likely scenario that may last for days).

But that won't stop me from building in Notion πŸ˜‚ Oh no!
​
I've been trying to write down all the things I've tackled over the last week or so, so that I can be extra ready next time. There are currently no Australian-based Emergency checklists in Notion, so I've started one.

​

What I'd like to know, if you've ever been through a cyclone or a similar natural disaster (that can be somewhat predictable), what else was on your list? Send me your ideas so I can add them to this template.

πŸ“° Official Notion News

Notion has introduced verification for all pages (not just wikis) on Business and Enterprise Plans. This means you can set a page as verified so your team members know the information is current. And then, set a reminder to "verify" again in a while.

πŸ—“οΈ 6 Months of Spells for Systems I can't believe this newsletter has been going on for over 6 months. And there are well over 1000 of you reading this most weeks. Thank you for being here. Over the last 6 months, here are a few things I've noticed: The speed at which Notion releases new updates has changed. Instead of an update or two per week, there seems to be a specific focus each month. In April, it was all about Notion Mail. In May, Notion AI is the big focus. The surge of AI is making...

πŸ€– Making the most of Notion AI (Official News) Following last week's big launch of Notion Mail, it's a quiet week. There are no new features, but they are starting to release weekly lessons on how to make the most of Notion AI. Find all the new Notion AI lessons here Two things I hadn't realised you can do with Notion AI include: Translating properties in a database (so you can have multiple languages in one database - useful for those who work on projects with multiple languages) Ask the AI...

πŸ’Œ You've got mail... This week's big announcement has been a long time coming. It was first announced in October at Make With Notion, has been slowly released to some users since then, and is now available to all those with a Gmail address.To keep it brief because it's a fairly big piece of the productivity puzzle being released, and maybe like me, you've had a few too many chocolate eggs or hot cross buns this weekend, and you need an easy way to get back in the routine, this whole issue...
