How to Add Description in Notion

Quick summary

Adding a description to a Notion page helps readers instantly understand the page's purpose. You can write it as plain text below the title or use a Callout block to make it stand out visually.

Steps

1. Open the Notion page where you want to add a description.
2. Click the space below the page title and type your description. If a block already exists there, press Enter to move it down first.
3. Type your description to explain what the page is about.
4. Optionally, type /callout to insert a Callout block if you want the description to stand out more.
5. Add your description text inside the Callout block.
6. Your Notion page now has a description that clearly explains the purpose of the page.
