Use this interactive demo to learn how to create backlinks between pages in Notion.

Quick summary

A Notion backlink is created by using the @ mention feature to link one page to another, automatically establishing a two-way connection. This method lets you build a connected knowledge base in Notion without any manual linking setup.


Steps

  1. Click an empty space on the Notion page where you want to insert the backlink.
  2. Type @ to open the mention menu and trigger the page search.
  3. Click the page name from the search results to select the target page.
  4. Notion will automatically add the linked page as a mention, creating a backlink between the two pages.

📌 Why this matters

Backlinks in Notion are essential for building a connected, navigable knowledge base where related pages reference each other automatically. By using the @ mention feature, teams can link tasks, notes, and projects without leaving their workflow, improving discoverability and context across their workspace. This makes Notion a powerful tool for personal productivity and team collaboration, reducing time spent searching for related information. Understanding how to create backlinks helps users unlock Notion's full potential as a bidirectional knowledge management system.
