Wow! I can't believe I stumbled across this. I think this is the feature I've been looking for. For months, I would start a master page only to go in circles only to give up when it ultimately didn't do this feature. You've unlocked another layer in my brain. And more importantly, you've helped me "Check Box" another unresolved task. Thank you, RED!!
This video 🤯 So many useful examples. I believe that the majority will use backlinking in a limited scope - just like you have demonstrated. I will be watching this video multiple times, to implement these tactics for my BASB database. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
By far the best video so far I have seen on Notion anywherre. Very creative uses of the new features. It's like references, sources, or tags that you can collect in one place from all the reading materials you have. Thank You!
Ooh! This is SUPER cool! I will definitely apply this. I especially love the Edit Later link you put because then I will remember things (hopefully) more.
Interesting ideas. Still nothing I would apply in my space on a continual basis but I like the idea of backlinks, just need a problem they solve for me.
I just discovered your channel yesterday, and it's reaaally interesting. I'm looking towards taking more efficient, more organized notes at work and in personal life, and you have a lot of answers for me!
hey, no idea if you noticed this yet or not, but you can actually see the full hierarchy of the backlink if you click the 3 dots on the top left, and then click customize page, then there is an option for backlinks, you change it to expanded so you can see the full thing, or you can make it be a numberfor the amount of backlinks, or the original way :) hope that helps anyone else, i figure you've realized that already lol
Love the fluid way you create and delete stuff. And your salient example applications of backlinking certainly address holes/needs in my Notion use. I have to date been colouring embedded questions in green (as in naive) and delimiting them (like any of my comments) in curly brackets. But wished for something more "semantic`'. So I will try using table(s) in the manner you demonstrated. Maybe it should be an Annotations database/table, with a property/column for type (e.g. question, addition). I'll have a play... I guess to convert all my existing embedded questions etc. I would need to code something up using one of the API's (?). But having bust a number of informal deadlines on other aspects of life, that is unlikely to happen soon. Like the stuff you fluidly delete, maybe I should not be so "precious`' about preserving everything.
Good stuff, Red! Thank you! I can see myself using Backlinking for two things right away: 1. The Chapter tags, like you showed. (That’s one of the main reasons I started using Evernote again, before making the switch to Notion) 2. I’m going to add ‘sub-tags’ to my Master Tag Database. Thanks again for the inspiration and all the effort you put into this. Cheers!
Another excellent video. I am going to use backlinks to eliminate the need for me to use Roam Research for my note taking. I need a robust system of embedding links into notes (people, projects, tasks, etc.).
Is it possible to back link a word/phrase that is already written in, say a paragraph? Sometimes upon a second reading, we realise it could be related to another concept.
Very instructive - Thanks. The advent of bi-directional links raises the question, how would you setup a Map of Contents for say a second brain e.g. A page full of links or database list / table and what would be your considerations for a particular solution?
Hello. thank you for the video. it was very interesting and helpful for me. did you notice the line/little table which appears when you highlight a word or some? there is the word "link" also. try to use it. I use it in my planner and going to use it in my future zettelkasten
I was wondering Red , have you figured out how to use that inline Database template page trick inside a 'Filtered' Views linked database for creating New Records under the Filtered conditions but automatically using the page template? That kinda Automation would ADD amazing flexibility to the linked database Functionality?
I'm new to notion and am a little unclear on how this differs from tagging. You touched on this early on, but just to make sure I'm clear: is the usefulness of backlinking the added flexibility to tag things outside of databases and page properties?
Hi, thanks for this amazing video! Even though I backlink five subpages to a page (e.g. 'bookmark'), on that I continue to see just 1 backlink. What's wrong with it? Is there any hierarchical limit to link multiple subpages of a common page, or its toggle lists, to a backlink page? Thanks!
A small question; The idea is...I have a page that includes some data (checkboxes, file columns, dates, etc.). What is want to have a linked or a different page which shows me empty columns? Like a report page. The second child or subpage must show me missing information in the first one using the key column on the first page. Is this possible?
Like the ideas! Do you know a way to gather the content of the backlinked pages? E.g. in one of your first examples showing all of the blocks where you said [[come back later]] on the „come back later“ sub-page? The backlinking, if connected to content kinda loses its power if I have to click myself though all the backlinks to see the content of the link. Thanks for your content!
If backlinks existed when you started using Notion curious of you would setup things differently. Relations are powerful but can be tedious, complex, and not as flexible as inline. Also you should checkout chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/evergreen-notes-for-notio/chhpogndpjcgjbnbcodhdnilklfanmfh - allows for Roam like backlinks previews.
I’ve was using roam for backlinking needs. But yea, if Notion had backlinking from the beginning, I would have had all my notes in Notion. Thank you for sharing that link! Looks interesting
That use of templates inline was a Mind blowing example thank you
It blew my mind as well 🤯

Oh My Red, you have an amazing Notion Brain.
Your contextual thinking blows me away 🔥 Way to go 👍
This video 🤯
So many useful examples.

I will be watching this video multiple times, to implement these tactics for my BASB database.
Thank you
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have no idea why you don't have more subscribers. I love your tutorials

Your insights on how to use notion features are very creative 👏🏽
Totally agree, Red has a Brain totally wired to Notions ability scope
🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@RedGregory What are you doing awake lol
Ooh! This is SUPER cool! I will definitely apply this. I especially love the Edit Later link you put because then I will remember things (hopefully) more.

Edit later ...great idea...I now implemented it as read it latter...life saver... Thanks
Omg your content is so good and interesting, I'm learning a lot of stuff and I love it, subscribed!
🤗🤗🤗
A very interesting approach to build a quick concept map when reviewing my reads. Big Red!
These are really valuable insights! I learned a lot. The tag and the return later use cases look especially interesting to me.
Hey Red, can you make a video on your whole holistic approach when you go about building your Notion system?
+1!!
Awesome, ... I don't know how I missed this video, ... So many ideas
This video is amazing!!!! It helped me A LOT, thank you so much for taking the time to teach us.

Very useful for this newbie Notion user. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for letting everyone know. That was in a newer update after this video 👍
omg! I love this tutorial! Just what I needed, thank you...
Thank you!!!!! Been wanting to better understand what you can do with back linking
Awesome! Glad to help

Did you do the subtags?

Absolute banger tips, I'm not able to perform the drag and drop at 23:00 tho, it doesn't want to insert it to the line...
Is it possible to back link a word/phrase that is already written in, say a paragraph? Sometimes upon a second reading, we realise it could be related to another concept.
I would go through couple of times, this is Gold here
Wow this was amazing, thank you! Can't wait to get back to using notion.

Where did you get that Notion style Emoji Icon for the Master Back Link page?
Smart: this is like Obsidian querying in Notion 🤯

Keep up your "Great Work"
Muchas gracias me desbloqueas te la cabeza por completo
Estoy armando un 📓 médico de mis hijos para llevar al día y no tenía ni idea como armarlos.❤❤
What a hack? Where is the template?
What do you think about Notion implementing backlinking to blocks instead of pages?
Well explained. Thanks.
A small question;
The idea is...I have a page that includes some data (checkboxes, file columns, dates, etc.).
What is want to have a linked or a different page which shows me empty columns? Like a report page.
The second child or subpage must show me missing information in the first one using the key column on the first page. Is this possible?
awesome video 👏

Cool stuff. I could see GTD people using a "next actions" link and then favoriting it for easy access.
Yes! The easy implementation and access is what I'm loving.
Hey thanku.....it was very helpful
Good one!
Thanks for the video! Out of curiosity: why do you put the dot into the most of the pages' names?:)
So she can use it in formulas. The formula knows it has reached the end or is at the beginning when it sees the dot
i dont understand what "master back link" is for? Cant we just omit using it ?
