Manage your Notion Sites

All workspace members can see and manage their workspace’s Notion Sites by going to Settings & members in their sidebar → Sites.

From here, workspace members can:

• See domains belonging to the workspace.

• See Notion Sites that they can access through a teamspace, group, parent page, or a direct invitation.

  This doesn’t include pages that are available to anyone with a link — you must have direct access to the page in Notion.

• Go to the published Site, copy its URL, or open up the publishing settings for it.

Workspace owners can do all of the above, as well as restrict the ability to publish Notion Sites for their workspace.

To claim a new notion.site domain:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar → Sites.

2. Next to Domains, select New domain.

3. Select Notion domain → Continue.

4. Enter your desired domain.

5. Select Create domain.

If you already own a custom domain, you can use it with Notion Sites. This feature must be purchased as an add-on to your existing paid plan. Find out more about this feature and pricing here →

To do this:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar → Sites.

2. Next to Domains, select New domain.

3. Select Custom domain → Continue.

4. Enter your custom domain → Continue.

   

   There are a few important rules to follow when adding your domain to ensure a smooth setup:

   • You must already have purchased your domain from a DNS provider.

   • When entering your domain, you must include a subdomain. This is typically www, but any other subdomain works too (ex.: careers.my-domain.com or portfolio.my-domain.com).

   If you want your root domain to point to your Notion Site, we recommend setting up your subdomain to www and setting up a redirect with your DNS provider. Here are some instructions from common providers for how to set this up:

5. You’ll be prompted to go to your DNS provider and add a CNAME record for the domain you want to connect. Set the CNAME target to external.notion.site.

6. Next, add a TXT record for the domain. You can copy the record name and value for easy use.

7. Select Verify.

Once your custom domain is verified, you’ll see it in your list of domains.

When you use a custom domain with Notion Sites, you’ll also have the option to remove any Notion branding for that custom domain. Learn more about customizing your Sites in this article →

To update the Homepage for a domain:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar → Sites.

2. Find the domain whose Homepage you want to update, then under Homepage:

   • If you don’t already have a Homepage assigned, select Select a page, then search for and select a page. Only pages that have already been published as a Notion Site under this domain will appear in this search.

   • If you already have a Homepage assigned but want to change it, select the pencil icon, then search for and select a page.

   • If you already have a Homepage assigned but want to clear it, select X.

To update, validate, or delete a domain:

1. Go to Settings & members in your sidebar → Sites.

2. Next to your desired domain, select •••.

3. From here, select:

   • Update to change your notion.site domain name. Any changes will apply to all of your live Notion Sites associated with this domain. Enter a new name and select Save changes. If you’re trying to update your custom domain name, you’ll have to delete the existing one and add a custom domain again, using the correct name.

   • Delete to remove your domain. If any Notion Sites have been published to the domain you’re trying to delete, you’ll be asked to unpublish those Sites before proceeding.

   • Validate to verify your custom domain.

Go to Settings & members in your sidebar → Sites → All published sites to see which of your Notion pages have been published as Notion Sites. From here, you can:

• See the names of your Notion pages, the domain they’re associated with, who published them, and when they were published.

• Select ••• next to each published page to view the Site, copy its link, or go into its publishing settings.
