How to Export Notion Templates

​

Exporting Notion templates is a valuable feature that allows you to share your customized templates with others or easily transfer them between personal workspaces. Notion provides two methods for exporting templates: as a .zip file or by sharing a public link. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps for both methods using the current Notion interface and best practices.

​

Exporting as a .zip File

​

Exporting as a .zip file is ideal if you want to share or back up your Notion templates for offline use. Follow these steps to export your templates:

​

1. Open the Notion workspace that contains the template you want to export.
2. Navigate to the template, and click on the ••• menu located at the top right corner of the page.
3. From the dropdown menu, select Export.
4. In the export dialog box, you will see options such as Export as Markdown & CSV and Export as HTML.  

• Markdown & CSV is useful if you want a plain text format for easy editing and version control.
• HTML preserves the formatting and layout of your template, making it ideal for presentations or web displays.

1. Select the desired export format based on your needs. Once selected, Notion will generate a .zip file containing your exported template.
2. Download the .zip file to your device and extract its contents to access your template files offline.

​

By following these steps, you can easily create a backup or share your Notion templates in a portable format.

​

Sharing a Public Link

​

If you prefer to share your Notion templates online and want others to duplicate them directly into their own workspaces, you can use the public link sharing feature. Use these steps to share your template:

​

1. Open the Notion workspace containing the template you wish to share.
2. Navigate to the template, and click on the ••• menu located at the top right corner.
3. From the dropdown menu, select Share.
4. In the sharing options panel that appears on the right side, click on Copy Link to generate a public link for your template.
5. Share the copied link with others via email, chat, or any preferred communication method.
6. Recipients can open the link and click on Duplicate to add the template to their own Notion workspace.

​

Using the public link sharing feature makes it simple for others to access and incorporate your templates into their personal setups.

Final Thoughts

​

Notion’s export options—creating a .zip file or sharing via a public link—offer great flexibility in distributing your customized templates. Whether you prefer offline backups or online collaboration, these methods streamline the process of transferring templates between workspaces or sharing them with colleagues. 

​

Note: Always ensure that the content you export complies with relevant privacy or intellectual property regulations to avoid any legal issues.

Now that you know how to export Notion templates, you can streamline your workflow, collaborate more effectively, and inspire others with your Personalized templates.
