Requirements
Embedded editing uses the private embed route and subscriber actions. Use the private link from the widget card if you want edit controls inside Notion.
Edit from a private embed
- Embed the widget with the Private link.
- Open the Notion page that contains the embed.
- Hover over or focus the widget frame to reveal actions.
- Choose Edit.
- Update general, data, config, style, or datasource fields.
- Save the changes.
Other private embed actions
Private embeds can also expose:
- Change background for the embed frame.
- Refresh data for datasource-backed widgets.
- Edit embed for quick widget changes without opening the full dashboard.
When to use the full editor instead
Use the dashboard editor when you are changing the widget type, testing a new variant, importing a widget code, or doing larger redesign work. Use embedded editing for quick changes from the Notion page.
