- The sidebar in Notion is a crucial tool for navigation and should be kept clean and organized.
- Pages in the sidebar should either be company-wide resources or team/organization home pages, and any pages that don't fit these categories should be moved elsewhere.
- Personal pages and untitled documents do not belong on the sidebar.
- Documents that haven't been viewed or edited in the past year, or that are relevant only to a small group, should also be removed from the sidebar.
- Once the sidebar content is finalized, it can be polished for design and readability, such as by color-coding teamspaces.
