👀 Backlinks are finally here!!

Now whenever you make a link to another page, a backlink is created automagically, so you can see the connections between your thoughts & pages.

And there's lots of new shortcuts to [[link]] and +create pages as you type.

The best part is, backlinks are available to all Notion users for free 💸

And since our app is many tools in one, they'll fit right into all your workflows for notes, wikis, tasks, and collaborating with your team.

And we want to stress: these features are not yet in their final form! We will keep making them better.

Of course, we didn't invent backlinks — they've been around since the early days of web & hypertext.

We asked Ted Nelson himself in this interview:

So how does it work?

Say you're taking some meeting notes. When you create a link to [[Project Doc]], a backlink will be created.

When you go to that project doc, you'll see a backlink to the meeting notes. The more links you create, the more powerful backlinks become 🕸️🕷️

We hope this gives you another tool in your 🧰 to be more creative, create stronger connections with your team, and stumble across helpful pages you didn't know existed.
