Page Link
A Page Link block connects to another Notion page, enabling fast navigation, organization, and reference without duplicating content.
Definition
A Page Link in Notion is a block type or inline mention that points directly to another page within your workspace. It displays the target page’s icon and title, and clicking the link opens that page without creating duplicate content. This link helps maintain a single source of truth for information, avoiding scattered copies across your workspace. Page Links can be created as full-width blocks or inserted inline within text. They serve as a core organizational tool, allowing you to build navigation panels, wikis, and interconnected documentation without manual URL entry or file attachments.

Usage & Context
Use Page Links when you want to reference related content, build dashboards, or design a wiki-style knowledge base. For example, on a project overview page you might add Page Links to specific task pages, design specs, or meeting notes for quick access. To create a Page Link, type “/link to page” and select the target, or type “@” followed by the page name. You can also drag an existing page from the sidebar into your document to embed a Page Link block. This flexibility makes it easy to weave connections as you write.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I create an inline Page Link?
- Type “@” anywhere in your text and start typing the page name. Select the desired page from the dropdown to insert a linked mention inline.
- What’s the difference between a Page Link block and a database relation?
- A Page Link simply references another page for quick navigation. A database relation establishes a structured connection between database entries, enabling rollups and linked views.
- Can I customize the appearance of a Page Link?
- Yes. You can drag the link block to toggle between full-width and narrow formats. Inline mentions inherit text style, and block links display the page icon by default.
- Does a Page Link duplicate page content?
- No. A Page Link points to the original page without copying its content. It ensures you always see the latest version, preventing version drift.
