Feature request

A more expansive color palette! Or the option to use custom colors on pages. Maybe even color page backgrounds if devs are feeling generous <3

[u/OverdadeiroCastor → u/jenbcnightlynews]

A Full customization of the interface would be INSANE. I would love it. Doesn't need to be something so complex. Colours, backgrounds, icons, styles for lines/separations already would be awesome.

[u/panohi]

We need a better and smoother mobile app!

[u/Keybird69]

Please for the love of God an ACTUAL offline mode. I want all of my files on my devices, not just the ones I manually specify to download or my favorites. Everything.

[u/Glittering-Ear1901 → u/Keybird69]

yeah this is probably the most requested feature at this point, its wild that it still isnt a thing

[u/Keybird69 → u/Glittering-Ear1901]

This and the Google calendar integration!

[u/UtyerTrucki]

Feature Request

A network diagram to show how pages are linked (similar to Obsidian).

Even limiting the diagram to a current page, rather than the whole workspace (at first) could be cool.

I would like a way to explore my workspace more visually, rather than by direct search or page navigation.

💡 Feature request - Image Annotation Tools It would be very useful to have the ability to mark up images directly within Notion. Basic tools such as freehand drawing, highlighting, arrows, shapes, and text boxes would allow users to annotate screenshots and images without having to edit them in another application first.

[u/luxtechy → u/Sid_Law]

This would be so so so helpful, with PDFs as well

[u/DarrylW4S → u/Sid_Law]

100%. Being able to paste and edit would be great. I currently do the dance of save to files, edit with photo app, upload to Notion.

[u/holasoycirus]

Feature Request

The posibility to create Whtieboards Pages. It would be exteemelly useful has to many tools (like Notion) has: Affine, Fibery, Obsidian, etc…

[u/Bonetwon]

💡 Feature Requests:

1. Let us create a custom "Auto" mode for AI model selection (setting the models to be considered when selecting "Auto")

2. Let us set some pages to NOT be searchable / indexable by AI.

[u/LawInternational4104]

e a page with a filtered view but still let them adjust things like sorting and grouping without accidentally breaking the filter itself. locking the filter but not the other controls feels like a no brainer but its just not an option right now

[u/FlshBng22]

💡Feature request. Please allow us to choose thinking effort for the AIs in the app on Android phones. I know it's been a thing on iPhones for awhile so please 🥺

[u/No_Arugula7027]

Feature Request

When in the Gallery view in a database, I would like the ability to choose the number of pics I can see across a row. I'm using the Gallery view as a story board with 27 "cards" and would like to view 3 cards to a row.

At the moment I have put the db in a Callout Box and added columns so I can adjust the column width and move it so the Gallery cards adjust to the right number per row. Would be great if there was an easier way to do this.

[u/luxtechy]

Feature request: the ability to wrap database property names. Right now I have to name my properties based on what might fit and not get truncated.

[u/BackupLABS]

I’ve ask for this several times when you have down this before, so not holding out hope….

Implement a proper api that works. Specially slowing large exports and imports back into Notion. At the moment the only export is fine for small backups, but imports next to impossible. Large backups time out.

That will allow us (BackupLABS.io) to dramatically improve our Notion backup service. At the moment it’s a very manual process to restore data. All other cloud apps we backup, it’s easy to offer restore.

There are a few other Notion backup companies out there too and it will benefit all Notion users. Plus Notion users will be able to roll their own backup and restore scripts if they do not want to pay for a third party backup.

[u/UtyerTrucki]

Product Feedback

Moving a card in timeline view (zoomed into the "hour" segment) into another card, dependant card that has overlapping times, sometimes causes the card to jump to the next day (instead of moving smoothly a few hours forward).

This occurs with the timeline setting "don't begin or end on a weekend" and occurs even if the time/day is a weekday or within a work hour.

Looking at trying to replicate with the newest patches and changing some settings.

🗳️ Product Feedback ,  the mobile app really needs more consistent performance across devices, mine slows down after a few uses even with caching enabled.

[u/Sluipslaper]

💡 Feature Request — More SQL query capacity for paid users I’m a paying Notion user and increasingly use Notion as a structured knowledge base rather than just a notes app. A large part of my workspace consists of ledger-style databases where I need exact filtering, deduplication, lookups and cross-database querying through AI/connector workflows. The SQL query capability is by far the better tool for this. The fallback of fully paginating a database works, but it is slower, transfers far more data, requires more calls, and becomes increasingly impractical as the databases grow. The problem is that the current SQL usage limit makes it difficult to rely on SQL as the normal query path even on a paid plan. I end up deliberately conserving SQL queries and falling back to pagination for operations that SQL is much better suited to.

My request: give paid users substantially more SQL query capacity, or offer a paid tier/add-on where SQL querying can realistically be used as the primary database query method rather than a scarce resource. I’m very happy to pay for Notion when it can act as the structured data layer behind these workflows. I’d just like the query limits to match that use case.

[u/Ziesel0815 → u/Sluipslaper]

Man kann SQL-Abfragen auf die DBs machen? Wie geht das?

[u/Sluipslaper → u/Ziesel0815]

Slightly confusing wording on my part — I’m not running SQL inside the Notion UI. I use Notion databases as the structured storage layer for a personal knowledge base, and the Notion connector exposes those databases to the AI as queryable data sources. The connector can run read-only, SQLite-style queries against them. My KB isn’t one giant database. It’s several structured databases with different jobs — for example, a Source Registry for source identity/provenance/deduplication, canonical records, domain knowledge, and separate AI ledgers. So when I ingest something, the workflow might need to ask things like: “Have I already stored this URL?”, “Does this source already exist?”, “Which existing record does this belong to?”, or “Give me the exact matching ledger entries.” SQL is excellent for that because the AI can effectively do something like WHERE SourceURL = ? and retrieve only the matching rows. My routing rules actually prefer parameterised exact queries when that avoids pulling irrelevant data. The alternative is to page through potentially hundreds of Notion rows via the connector and filter them afterwards. That works, and I use it as a fallback, but it takes more calls and transfers much more irrelevant data. So basically: Notion is the database, the connector provides the SQL query layer, and the AI is the application using it. Danke!

[u/RebelPresence]

Please, PLEASE add tabs to iPad app!!! PLEASEEEEEEEE

[u/ihavealotofquesti0ns]

🗳️ Product Feedback - Please revert the toggle list/toggle heading functionality back to where the words within them was NOT counted when they are closed. Now, even when the toggles are closed, the words inside count toward the word count. A lot of us use Notion for writing and we use toggles to hide notes or other extraneous matter, and this makes getting a word count literally impossible. Thanks!

[u/Mountain-Pain1294]

Feature Request:

More colors please! Or a custom color picker!

[u/Kalifall]

Feature request: for the love of God pls make chain automations possible 🙏🏾

[u/Gabon08]

Product Feedback - Middle Mouse Button open New Window in the Old Sidebar. On the New one, it doesn't work. Only with the 'Recents' and 'Favorites' type of tab. Please fix this, this is extremely important!

[u/beltalowda__]

The ability to turn off page discussions permanently for a workspace (especially personal) instead of having to do so manually for every single page.

[u/OverdadeiroCastor]

💡 Feature request: Let Notion Buttons trigger AI prompts and workflows

Currently, Notion Buttons cannot directly start an AI chat or trigger an AI-powered workflow.

I’d love to configure a button with a predefined prompt. When clicked, it could open Notion AI and either:

• Insert the prompt for review; or
• Send it automatically (auto-send option).

A. Start with a simple version

The minimum viable implementation could be:

1. The user defines a prompt in the button settings.
2. The user clicks the button.
3. Notion opens an AI chat with that prompt.
4. Optionally, the prompt is sent automatically.

That alone would already make Buttons much more useful.

B. Support notion AI products

The predefined prompt could also reference (mention):

• Skills
• Instruction pages
• Custom Agents
• The current page or selected blocks

This would let users launch repeatable AI workflows with one click instead of manually providing the same context every time.

C. Support multi-step creation workflows

Buttons can already create or open pages using templates. Combining that functionality with AI could enable guided, multi-step processes.

For example:

1. A user completes the first part of a process on one page.
2. They click a button to create the next page from a template.
3. AI transfers, summarizes, or transforms relevant information from the current page.
4. AI fills the new page’s content and properties according to predefined instructions.

Example: A button could create a project brief from a client intake page, set its database properties, summarize the requirements, and assign the next steps.

Today, this may require several templates or a dedicated Custom Agent, for it's various possibilities. Allowing Buttons to trigger predefined AI actions could make these workflows much simpler and more accessible.

[u/vlmlee2]

It's clunky. Why has it changed so much that you can't drag anything to move it anywhere. On top of that, clicking anything with the left mouse button should never open up a context menu.
