Notion integration guide
How to keep Notion up to date
Pages in your Notion knowledge base go stale when your product changes and no one tells the owner, so teammates keep following old steps.
Keeping help centers accurate at
The short answer
- What Notion offers
- Your Notion wiki has features like Verified pages, which notify a page's owner when verification expires, plus database automations and Custom Agents that run on schedules or record changes.
- Where it stops
- Each one runs on a timer or on a record someone creates, so a page can carry a current verification while describing a feature your product has since changed.
- Where Solo fits
- Solo compares your code changes with your Notion pages, flags the ones a change made wrong, and drafts fixes that a person approves before anything is published.

Why it matters
Why an accurate wiki matters
A change to your product lands, the people who own the runbook hear about it late, and the page still shows the old steps. Teammates then ask a colleague instead, AI answers repeat the stale page, and search ranks it next to pages that are right.
Teammates answer their own questions
A current how-to or runbook ends the question. A wrong one sends the reader to a colleague or to the IT or ops queue, and that person has to explain what the page should have said.
Employees get correct AI answers
Notion AI searches your workspace and connected apps like Slack or Google Drive, and shows only what the person asking can access. If a page still describes the old process, the answer repeats it.
Search surfaces the right page
Enterprise Search extends across tools such as GitHub, Jira and Slack, and verified pages show a blue check mark in results. A check on a page that is out of step with your product makes it look more trustworthy than the page next to it.
Built-in tools
Notion wiki verification and other built-in maintenance tools
Notion has real maintenance tools: Verified pages, database automations, Custom Agents, Suggested edits and Version history. None of them can see that your product changed, so a page stays verified until someone notices it is wrong.
| Stage | Notion's features | Missing features |
|---|---|---|
| 01Know upcoming changes | A database automation can notify page owners when a page is added or a property is edited in a database where your team tracks launches, and a Custom Agent (Business and Enterprise) can act on a schedule or when a comment or property changes. | Both react to records people create, so a change to your product that nobody logs never triggers them. Neither reads your code or feature flags. |
| 02Identify outdated articles | Verified pages can be set to expire on a date you choose, and the owner then gets an inbox notification and an email. Settings › Verified pages lists them by owner or teamspace, and the Pages I own view shows an owner their wiki pages. | Expiry is a timer, not a signal from your product. A page verified until December can be wrong in October, and an owner who re-verifies it is vouching from memory. |
| 03Draft updated copy | Notion AI works as a writing helper inside a page, and it can search your workspace and connected apps like Slack or Google Drive for material to draft from. | It drafts from the instructions and sources a person gives it, so someone still has to know which pages a change to your product touched and what is now true. |
| 04Collaborate on updates | Suggested edits let anyone with Can comment access propose changes, and the page owner accepts or rejects each one from an inbox notification. Version history shows earlier versions of a page and lets anyone with Can edit access restore one. | Reviewers see the text that changed, not the change to your product behind it, so they have to take the author's word that the new steps are right. |
| 05Publish changes | Once an owner verifies a page again, it shows the blue check mark in mentions and search results. Version history keeps earlier versions for 7 days on Free, 30 on Plus, 90 on Business and any length on Enterprise, so a bad edit can be restored. | Nothing ties an edit or a re-verification to a launch or feature flag. A blue check says someone confirmed the page, not that it matches your product. |
With Solo
Wiki maintenance with Solo on top of Notion
Notion can't see your codebase, so it can't tell that a feature in your product changed unless a person says so. Solo reads recent code changes in your connected repositories, compares them with the Notion pages it can access, and flags the ones a change made wrong. It drafts the fix, and a person on your team reviews each one before anything is published.
What Solo adds to Notion's built-in tools
| Stage | Notion without Solo | Notion with Solo |
|---|---|---|
| 01Know upcoming changes | A database automation can notify page owners when a page is added or a property is edited in a database where your team tracks launches, and a Custom Agent (Business and Enterprise) can act on a schedule or when a comment or property changes. | Solo reads recent code changes in your connected repositories and shows the related feature flag's rollout status on the review item when it's available, so no one has to log the change first. |
| 02Identify outdated articles | Verified pages can be set to expire on a date you choose, and the owner then gets an inbox notification and an email. Settings › Verified pages lists them by owner or teamspace, and the Pages I own view shows an owner their wiki pages. | Solo compares each of your code changes with the Notion pages it has indexed and flags the ones that are now wrong, whatever their verification date. |
| 03Draft updated copy | Notion AI works as a writing helper inside a page, and it can search your workspace and connected apps like Slack or Google Drive for material to draft from. | Solo drafts replacement text from your code change for the sentence that is wrong and, when enabled, can flag a possibly outdated image or suggest adding a section. |
| 04Collaborate on updates | Suggested edits let anyone with Can comment access propose changes, and the page owner accepts or rejects each one from an inbox notification. Version history shows earlier versions of a page and lets anyone with Can edit access restore one. | Each flagged page opens as a review item showing the old and proposed text and the changes that triggered it, where your team can edit it, add it to a draft, reject it or snooze it. |
| 05Publish changes | Once an owner verifies a page again, it shows the blue check mark in mentions and search results. Version history keeps earlier versions for 7 days on Free, 30 on Plus, 90 on Business and any length on Enterprise, so a bad edit can be restored. | Add to Draft saves the suggestion as a Solo draft, and publishing that draft is the step that pushes the change to the page, which its owner can then verify again. |
Questions
Common questions about Notion pages and Solo
What teams that run an internal wiki on Notion usually ask before connecting Solo.
Does Solo replace anything in Notion?
No. Your pages, wikis, owners and verification stay in Notion. Solo suggests changes, and nothing reaches a Notion page until someone on your team publishes the draft.
How do I keep a Notion internal wiki current when my product changes?
Start with ownership: turn the page into a wiki, give each page an owner and set Verified pages to expire so owners are reminded. That tells you who should look and when, but not which pages a change affected. Solo supplies that part by comparing your code changes with the pages.
Does the AI prefer verified pages when it answers?
Notion's guide says Notion AI searches your workspace and connected apps and shows only what the person asking can access. It doesn't say verified pages are ranked first, although they show a blue check mark in search results. Either way, a wrong page gives a wrong answer.
Which Notion plan do I need for Verified pages?
Notion's help center lists Business and Enterprise for verifying standalone pages and databases. For pages inside a wiki, it states no plan requirement. Check your workspace's plan before you rely on expiry reminders.
How does Solo work with Notion pages?
Solo indexes the Notion pages it can access and uses them as a documentation source. When your team picks Add to Draft on a suggestion, it stays in Solo as a draft. Publishing that draft is the step that pushes the change to Notion.
Will Solo change a Notion page without a review?
No. Each suggested change waits for someone on your team to edit it, add it to a draft or reject it. Solo also limits suggestions to changes it is confident about, so it flags fewer pages rather than guessing.
