Our teamspaces

Buffer Handbook is a public and transparent space for sharing guides, resources, and team processes/strategies.

‣ is an internal, private space for working on projects, keeping notes, and collaborating with teammates. Each team has their own section within this space.

TL;DR Buffer Handbook is public and Internal Collaboration is private and for internal work.

How to work in Notion

To start working in Notion, remember to navigate to your team’s space and work from either there or a personal space.

The difference between a team space and a personal space is that a team space is already set up and is transparent to the team. Personal spaces, meanwhile, can be set up by individuals if they choose.

Personal spaces are private pages that teammates can set up where they focus on only their projects. It can also be a great place to keep any thoughts or notes and reference them quickly. (E.g. On one person's personal space, they might keep a motivational quote or a list of drafts.)

Remember: The Buffer Handbook is a public space! Make sure to use ‣ for your working projects.

Notion best practices

• Before creating a new page, try searching to see if a similar page has already been created which you can update
• When searching for a page, make sure you’re not referring to an old or archived page that’s no longer in use (we are trying to make sure all pages are marked as archived, but a few may have slipped through the cracks)
• Be mindful of keeping the current pages organized when adding any new pages or content to any teams’ spaces.
• Get in the habit now of using your team space or a personal space (if you choose to create one) to keep track of your projects and keep everything organized.
• Favorite or bookmark the pages you frequent the most for easy access
• We highly recommend regularly checking for any pages in your team’s space that can be archived. Archiving any pages that aren’t in use anymore will make sure everything stays nice and clean!
