Understanding a Notion App Mind Map
A Notion app mind map lays out the main parts of the Notion workspace as connected branches. Notion organizes information in pages, which hold text and media, and databases, which store records in tables, boards and calendars. A map shows how these pieces relate, from the workspace and its teamspaces down to blocks, properties and views.
- Pages: nested documents that hold text, media and embedded content
- Databases: structured records shown as table, board, list or calendar
- Blocks: the individual content units inside each page
- Views and filters: different ways to display and sort the same data
- Sharing and permissions: how teams invite members and control access
Use the map to plan a new workspace, review how your pages connect, or revise for a Notion course. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own Notion notes.

What is the difference between a page and a database in Notion?
A page is a document that holds text, images and other blocks. A database is a collection of records with properties, which can be viewed as a table, board, list or calendar. Pages can contain databases.
What are blocks in Notion?
Blocks are the single units of content on a page, such as a paragraph, heading, to-do item, image or embed. Each block can be moved, styled or converted to another type.
Which files can I upload to make a Notion map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image. You can also type a topic instead.
Can I turn my Notion mind map into a quiz for free?
