Advanced Features ​

Combining with Tags ​

Workspaces and tags work together:

  1. Workspace = High-level organization (Work, Personal, Client)
  2. Tags = Cross-cutting categories (Urgent, In Progress, Archive)

Example:

  • Page in "💼 Work" workspace
  • Tagged with "🔥 Urgent" and "📝 Draft"
  • Filter by workspace AND tags for precise results

Workspace in URLs ​

When you navigate via the sidebar, the URL includes the workspace:

  • /pages?workspace=5 - Pages in workspace ID 5
  • /databases?workspace=3 - Databases in workspace ID 3

You can bookmark these URLs for quick access!

Keyboard Shortcuts ​

While viewing a workspace-filtered list:

  • Ctrl/Cmd + K - Quick search (still respects workspace filter)
  • N - New page/database (workspace pre-selected)

Tips & Tricks ​
