# What is a template? Source: https://help.notionrhino.com/en/guides/essentials/what-is-a-template Learn what a Notion template is and how duplicating one gives you a fully built workspace in seconds. A Notion template is a pre-built page or workspace you can duplicate into your own Notion account. Think of it as a ready-made system — the structure, databases, views, and logic are already set up. You just add your own content. ## How it works When you purchase a template from Notion Rhino, you get a link to a shared Notion page. From there, it's one click to duplicate it into your workspace. After purchase, you'll receive a link to the template page in Notion. Open the link and click the **Duplicate** button in the top-right corner of the page. Select the Notion workspace you want to add the template to. The template is now yours. Customize it however you like — rename things, adjust views, add your data. Follow the full step-by-step installation guide. ## What comes with a Notion Rhino template? Every template we ship includes: * **Pre-configured databases** — tables, boards, calendars, and timelines are already built and linked * **Multiple views** — see your data the way that works best for you * **Documentation** — each template comes with a guide explaining how it works and how to get the most out of it Duplicating a template creates a completely independent copy in your workspace. Changes you make don't affect the original, and changes we make to the template don't affect your copy. Step-by-step guide to duplicating and setting up a Notion Rhino template. # What is Notion? Source: https://help.notionrhino.com/en/guides/essentials/what-is-notion A quick introduction to Notion — the all-in-one workspace used by millions of people worldwide. Notion is a flexible productivity app that combines notes, documents, databases, and project management into a single workspace. Instead of juggling separate apps for tasks, wikis, and spreadsheets, Notion lets you build exactly the system you need — all in one place. ## What can you do with Notion? Create notes, wikis, SOPs, meeting notes, and long-form documents with a clean, distraction-free editor. Track tasks and projects with boards, timelines, calendars, and table views — all driven by the same database. Design a workspace that fits the way you think — habit trackers, goal planners, dashboards, and more. Share pages, collaborate in real time, and keep your team aligned with shared wikis and project spaces. ## Why people love it Notion is powerful because it's a blank canvas. You're not locked into one way of doing things. The same tool that runs a startup's entire operations can also work as a student's study planner. The downside of that flexibility is that setting up a good system takes time. That's where Notion Rhino comes in — our templates give you a solid starting point so you can skip the setup and start getting things done. Create your Notion account and install your first template. # Create a Notion account Source: https://help.notionrhino.com/en/guides/getting-started/create-notion-account Set up your free Notion account so you're ready to install and use any Notion Rhino template.

# Understanding Projects & Epics Source: https://help.notionrhino.com/en/templates/project-management-dashboard/understanding-projects-and-epics Learn how the Project Management Dashboard treats Projects as Epics, and how epic details are organized inside each project page. In the Notion Rhino Project Management Dashboard, **Projects and Epics are the same thing**. Each Project page represents an Epic — the title names it, and everything inside the page defines it. This keeps your workspace clean and flat. Instead of managing a separate Epics database, all the detail lives inside the project itself. ## How it works ### The project title = the epic name When you create a new project, the page title is the name of that epic. Keep it clear and outcome-focused. Examples: * `User research & discovery` * `Design & prototyping` * `Q3 marketing campaign` * `Client onboarding — Acme Corp` ### Inside the project page = the epic details Opening a project page reveals the full epic. The content inside is organized into **tabs**, each representing a different dimension of the work: | Tab | What it contains | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | | **Overview** | Goals, context, and success criteria for this epic | | **Tasks** | Individual tasks and sub-tasks that make up the work | | **Timeline** | Schedule and milestones | | **Notes** | Meeting notes, decisions, and updates | This tabbed structure keeps all the relevant detail in one place without cluttering the main dashboard view. ## The hierarchy in practice ``` Dashboard (top-level view) └── Project page = Epic ├── Tab: Overview ├── Tab: Tasks ├── Tab: Timeline └── Tab: Notes ``` From the dashboard, you see all your epics at a glance. Click into any one to work inside it. Name your projects like deliverables, not vague categories. "Design homepage" is better than "Design work" — it's clear when it's done.
