Frequently Asked Questions

What drawing tools work best with Notion's embed feature?

Popular options include Excalidraw, Draw.io, and Sketchtoy, which are all web-based and embed seamlessly into Notion. These tools offer various features from simple sketching to complex diagram creation.

Will my drawings be saved automatically in Notion?

The drawings are saved within the external drawing tool, not directly in Notion. The embed block acts as a window to the drawing application, so you'll need to save your work within that tool to preserve your drawings.

Can I resize the embedded drawing tool within my Notion page?

Yes, you can adjust the size of the embedded drawing tool by clicking and dragging the corners of the embed block. This allows you to customize how much space the drawing area takes up on your page.
