What is Notion?

Notion is a flexible workspace that merges documents, wikis, notes, and databases into a single connected canvas of building-block 'pages'. Teams use it as a company knowledge base, project tracker, and doc editor all at once, assembling their own structure from reusable blocks and relational databases. Its versatility is the draw — you shape it into whatever your team needs.
