Public embed link
A public embed link uses the /embed/ route. It renders the widget in view-only mode. Use it when you want a safe Notion embed that visitors can see but not update from inside the embed.
Choose a public link when:
- The widget should only display content.
- You are embedding on a public Notion page or website.
- You do not want edit or refresh actions available inside the frame.
Private embed link
A private embed link uses the /p/ route. It can expose extra actions for subscribers, including editing the widget inside the embed, refreshing datasource-backed data, and changing the embed background.
Choose a private link when:
- You own the Notion page.
- You want to update the widget without opening the full dashboard.
- You need datasource refresh actions from the embed.
Copy either link
- Open Dashboard → Widgets.
- Find the widget card.
- Click Copy Embed Link.
- Choose Public or Private.
- Copy the URL.
Which link should I use in Notion?
Use the public link for most shared Notion pages. Use the private link in your own workspace when you want embedded editing controls.
