How to Export Notion Templates
Exporting Notion templates is a valuable feature that allows you to share your customized setups with others or easily transfer them between personal workspaces. Notion offers two primary methods for exporting templates: as a .zip file or by sharing a public link. This guide walks you through the updated steps for both methods based on the current Notion interface and best practices.
Exporting as a .zip File
Exporting as a .zip file is perfect for sharing or creating an offline backup of your Notion templates. Follow these steps:
- Open the Notion Workspace that contains the template you want to export.
- Navigate to the template page and click the ••• menu in the top right corner.
- Select Export from the dropdown menu.
- In the export dialog, you will see options such as Export as Markdown & CSV and Export as HTML. Choose the format that suits your needs:
- Markdown & CSV is ideal if you want the content in plain text with data files.
- HTML preserves more of the visual formatting and layout.
- Click the Export button. A
.zipfile containing your template will be downloaded to your device. - Locate and extract the contents of the downloaded
.zipfile to access your exported template files.
By following these updated steps, you can quickly export your Notion templates as .zip files for offline storage or sharing.
Sharing a Public Link
If you prefer to share your template directly online—allowing others to duplicate it into their own workspaces—you can use Notion’s public link sharing feature. Here’s how:
- Open the Notion Workspace that contains the template you wish to share.
- Go to the template page and click the ••• menu in the top right corner.
- Select Share from the dropdown menu.
- In the sharing options panel on the right, ensure that the toggle for Share to web is enabled.
- Click Copy Link to generate a public URL for your template.
- Share the copied link via email, chat, or your preferred communication method.
- When someone accesses the link, they will see a Duplicate button at the top right of the page, allowing them to easily add the template to their own Notion Workspace.
Before sharing, verify that the template’s sharing permissions are set appropriately. Notion now includes an option labeled Allow duplicate as template—make sure this is enabled so recipients can duplicate the template seamlessly.
