One of the best things about Notion is there are thousands of well-curated templates to suit your needs.
From project management, task and goal trackers, journals, or even workout templates, you can find it all on Notion's website.
More importantly, there are even free templates on the list, and they are super easy to add to your workspace.
So how do you add a template to the Notion workspace from the notion.site? Let's see a quick tutorial on how to do it.
How To Add a Template to Notion Directly From the Workspace
One of the quickest ways to add a Notion template or page to your workspace is by directly using the “Template” option.
Notion has a huge library of templates, but if you are not very picky and want to make quick template addition to your Notion workspace, this is the best option for you.
But how? Let's check out the steps below.
- Open your “Notion” workspace on your desktop device; for this technique, you cannot use your Android or iOS devices.
- On the left of your Notion workspace, you will find a sidebar navigator. If you are unable to find it, it is most probably because you have closed the sidebar. Hover the mouse icon towards the left end, and you can find it.
- In the sidebar, you can find a “Template” option; click on it to view a gallery of templates.
- Here, you will find templates based on different categories. Click on the category you are interested in and go through the different templates created by the Notion team themselves.
- Once you get the desired template, click on the “Use this Template” button from the right top of the screen.
- As soon as you do that, the Notion template from the notion.site is added to your workspace.
That's it. You can now customize the templates as per your needs, such as adding a cover or header image, changing the description, deleting or adding more pages, and making other changes.
Adding a Template to Notion Using the Notion Template Gallery
Adding a template to your Notion workspace is pretty easy with the in-built template option. However, one of the restrictions that come along is a limited set of templates.
Thankfully, you can still explore the entire Notion template gallery and quickly add your favorites to the workspace.
But how? Let's check it out.

- Now, browse for a Notion template that matches your need, and then click on the “Duplicate Template” button to add it to your workspace. You can also choose a different workspace if you have multiple workspaces on your account.
That's it; you can now customize the template, create or delete existing Notion pages, and do make it the way you want. You can also add Notion widgets to make it more need-friendly.
