While Notion doesn't include a native drawing feature, you can easily add drawing capabilities to your pages using the embed block functionality. This allows you to integrate external drawing tools directly into your Notion workspace.

By following this method, you'll be able to create sketches, diagrams, and drawings without leaving your Notion page, making it perfect for visual note-taking, brainstorming sessions, or creating illustrated documentation.

Here's how to draw in Notion

  1. Navigate to where you want to add the drawing feature and type /embed to create an embed block.
  2. Select the embed block option from the menu that appears.
  3. Click on the newly created embed block to open the URL input field.
  4. Paste the URL of your preferred online drawing application into the input field.
  5. Click the 'Embed Link' button to integrate the drawing tool into your Notion page.

Your turn to show how it works.
