Suggested Edits

Suggested edits let you propose additions or deletions to a page without those changes being applied automatically. Instead, they show up as pending suggestions that the page owner can review and either accept or reject. It's a structured way to collaborate on content without overwriting what's already there — particularly useful for editorial reviews, policy documents, or any page where changes need sign-off before going live.


How to Suggest Edits

  1. Click ••• at the top of a page
  2. Select Suggest edits

While in suggest mode, Suggesting appears at the top of the page. Any text you add or delete is treated as a suggestion — not a direct edit.

Your proposed changes appear in the page sidebar as suggestion cards. You can add a comment to each suggestion to explain your reasoning or provide context for the reviewer.

Exit Suggest Mode

Click the X next to the Suggesting label at the top, or return to •••Stop suggesting.


Permissions

You must have Can comment access or higher to suggest edits on a page.

  • You don't have sufficient permissions on the page

  • Bulleted list items
  • Numbered list items

The following do not support suggestions:

  • Inline databases
  • Database properties

Reviewing and Responding to Suggestions

As a page owner or editor, each suggestion appears in the sidebar with options to:

  • ✔️ Accept — applies the suggested change to the page
  • Reject — dismisses the suggestion without changing the page
  • React with an emoji
  • Reply with a comment

Prevent Suggestions

To stop anyone from suggesting edits on your page, lock it:

Click ••• at the top of the page → toggle Lock page

Locked pages prevent both direct edits and suggested edits.
