Notion has expanded its date formatting capabilities, giving you much more control over how @date mentions and reminders appear across your pages.

This update addresses a long-standing request for better internationalisation and personal preference in document aesthetics. You can now choose from a variety of styles in your workspace settings, including Full date, Short date, ISO-standard (Year/Month/Day), and Relative dates like “Today” or “Yesterday”. By setting a workspace-wide default, you ensure that every team member sees a consistent timeline format, which is critical for global teams who may interpret numerical dates differently. It’s a subtle but powerful way to reduce ambiguity in project deadlines and meeting logs.

You can customise these settings by navigating to Settings & members → Language & region and selecting your preferred style under the Date format dropdown menu.
