Notion Tip: Use this space to announce features and releases that impact cross-functional stakeholders in your organization like sales or customer support. Avoid listing out every single bug or feature the team worked on.
For team members who want to learn more about a specific release, you can link inline to existing Notion pages by typing @[page title]. Sharing those additional details like project timelines, statuses, and DRIs helps build transparency and create an environment that encourages knowledge sharing.
