Date Mention
An inline reference to a date value or date property within any Notion text block. Clickable and editable, it links directly to the Notion date picker and related database entry.
Definition
A Date Mention in Notion is a dynamic way to reference a specific date within text. By typing “@” followed by a date or a database page with a date property, you create an inline mention that displays the date, links to a date picker, and connects to any related database entry. This feature ensures consistency and helps you build interconnected pages and databases.
Usage & Context
You can insert a Date Mention anywhere you write text—inside pages, databases, comments, or callouts. It’s useful for scheduling reminders, linking meeting notes to project timelines, or referencing deadlines in a project doc. Simply type “@” and pick or search a date (including recurring ones), and the mention embeds directly into your content.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I insert a Date Mention?
- In any text block, type “@” then start typing a date (e.g., “@2024-06-01”) or select “Date” to open the date picker. You can also mention a page with a date property to link the two.
- Can I edit a Date Mention after inserting it?
- Yes. Click the mentioned date to open the date picker. You can adjust the date, add a time, or set повторения (recurrence) directly from the picker.
- Does a Date Mention update other references?
- Date Mentions are static once placed, but if they link to a database date property, updating that property will reflect across all mentions linking to it.
- Can I mention recurring dates?
- Yes. When you select a date in the picker, toggle the “Repeat” option to set daily, weekly, monthly, or custom recurrence rules.
Benefits
Date Mentions keep your documents contextually rich and interconnected, ensuring you can quickly navigate between meeting notes, project milestones, and deadlines. They reduce manual errors by standardizing date formatting and enable in-line scheduling without leaving your current page.
