Home and My tasks

Your workspace home shows you important content from across your workspace in one place. To access Home, go to the left sidebar in Notion and select Home.

View your 20 most recently visited pages. Scroll to the left to see more.

My tasks shows all tasks assigned to you from all of the Task databases in your Notion workspace.

To see your assigned tasks in My tasks, you need to make sure that the databases containing those tasks are Notion Task databases. A task database in Notion is a type of database that requires a status, assignee, and due date property to help you track the work that you need to get done.

To create a task database or turn an existing database into a task database:

• Select ••• at the top right of the database → Turn into task database.

• Pick which properties in your database will correspond with the task status, assignee, and due date. If your database doesn’t already have these properties, you can create them by selecting Create new.

• Select Turn into task database. Any tasks assigned to you from that database will appear in My tasks.

You can adjust what tasks you see in the My tasks widget by hovering over the widget and selecting •••. You can choose your preferred layout, filter and sort your tasks, or adjust which task properties you want the widget to show.

You can add a new task to any of your existing Task databases directly from the My tasks widget in Home. To do this, select + at the top right of the widget. To change the destination task database, open the dropdown at the top left of the new task, where it says Add to {database name}. Find and select your desired database, then fill in the information for your task.

If you don’t want to see My tasks in Home, hover over the My tasks widget in Home and select ••• → Hide from home.

Hover over the My tasks widget in Home and select Open as full page to dive deeper into your tasks. From here, you can favorite the page, adjust the layout of your tasks, create a new task, and more.

To undo a Task database:

• Select ••• at the top right of the database.

• Select ••• next to This is a task database → Undo task database → Remove.

Select ••• at the top right of Home → Show/hide widgets. Select or unselect Greeting, My Tasks, Learn, and Featured Templates. You won’t be able to hide any other widgets at this time.
