To create a database template, click the down arrow next to the blue “New” button at the top right of your database. Then, click the “Create a new template” button and you're good to go.

Pro tip: If you want this template to always be used when adding a new item to your database, you can consider setting your template “as default” (click the three dots and select “Set as default”).

‍

Notion Page Templates

To transform a Notion page into a duplicable template, click the “Share” button at the top-right of your page. Then enable “Share to web” and make sure “Allow duplicate as template” is enabled. Finally, copy the web link and share it with the person or audience who wants to duplicate your page. When they go to the web link, they will see a “Duplicate” option at the top right of the page.

How to delete a Notion workspace

To delete a Notion workspace, go to "Settings & Members" in the left-side navigation bar, then "Settings". Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Delete entire workspace". You'll be asked to type the exact name of your workspace to confirm.
