How to change Notion Username

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update your display name in Notion settings.

Quick summary

Changing your Notion username (called the Preferred name) takes under a minute via Account Settings. Notion saves the change automatically, so no submit button is required.


Steps

  1. Open Notion and click your profile name in the upper-left corner of the app.
  2. Click Settings from the menu that appears.
  3. In the left sidebar of the Settings panel, click your profile name to open account options.
  4. Under Account, locate the Preferred name field — this is the username displayed across your Notion workspace — and type your new name.
  5. Click outside the Preferred name field to trigger auto-save; your updated Notion profile name is now live.

📌 Why this matters

Notion does not use a traditional username system — instead, your Preferred name in Account Settings controls how you appear to teammates across every workspace. Knowing how to update this field ensures your profile always reflects your current name, role, or brand without needing admin assistance. For teams using Notion as a central collaboration hub, keeping display names accurate improves clarity in comments, mentions, and shared pages. This simple self-serve setting gives every user full control over their identity inside Notion instantly.
