Writing and Editing Text with Notion AI

Notion AI drafts new text from a short instruction and edits text you already have, which is useful for turning a rough outline into full sentences or tightening up something you wrote quickly.

Drafting new text:

• Go to an empty line and press the spacebar;
• Type what you want, for instance "draft a project kickoff message";
• Press Enter and review the generated paragraph;
• Click Insert below, or click anywhere to discard.

Editing existing text:

• Hover over the block to reveal its six-dot drag handle (⠿) on the left, and click it to open the block menu — or highlight the text and use the same menu from the floating toolbar;
• Choose Ask AI to type a custom instruction, such as "make this more formal";
• Or open the Skills submenu for one-click actions: Improve Writing, Proofread, Explain, or Reformat.

Reviewing every suggestion before clicking Keep matters, since a rewrite can shift the tone of a sentence even when the facts stay correct.
