Definition

Link Sharing is Notion’s built-in feature for distributing content via unique URLs. By enabling link sharing, you can grant view or edit access to a Notion page, database, or specific database view without requiring individual workspace invites. Permissions can be scoped to workspace members, specific individuals, or made fully public. Shared links can be controlled at a granular level: you choose whether recipients can view only, comment, or edit. You can also disable link sharing at any time to revoke access, ensuring you maintain control over who sees or changes your content.

Usage & Context

Use Link Sharing when you need to collaborate with external stakeholders, share documentation with teammates quickly, or embed Notion content on websites. Instead of manually adding each user to your workspace, you simply toggle on sharing and send the link. You can also generate distinct links for different database views. For example, share a kanban board view of a project plan publicly, while keeping the full database private. This flexibility lets you tailor what recipients see and interact with.

Benefits

Link Sharing simplifies collaboration by eliminating manual invites and ensuring everyone has the right level of access. It also streamlines external reviews and allows you to embed live Notion content anywhere with minimal setup.

Conclusion

Link Sharing is a core Notion feature that balances ease of collaboration with precise access control. Whether circulating a company handbook internally or showcasing a project roadmap publicly, link sharing empowers you to distribute and manage content securely and efficiently.
