Notion previews new button styles

What changed

On November 11, 2026, at 21:18 UTC, Notion quote-posted Nathan Baschez with the line "Sneak peek: new button styles!" Baschez's X profile says he does product design at Notion. His post, at 21:04 UTC the same day, says: "Playing with new button styles in Notion pages. Previously you could only make light blue... but who can resist the magnetic pull of a primary blue style button?"

The post includes a 3.5 second video of a private page titled Button Styles. Three buttons are on the page:

• A pale blue button labeled "Hi I am a button!"
• A light blue button labeled "Previously this was as dark as I got."
• A solid blue button with white text labeled "Now, there are more style options"

The video then opens the block menu from a button handle. Under Button, the menu shows Style, Click effect, and Edit icon. The Style submenu lists Primary, Outline, Tint, and Custom color. Tint has a check mark. Custom color has a further menu, and the video does not open it. The Click effect submenu lists Confetti and None. None has a check mark.

Notion's post calls this a sneak peek. Baschez's post says he is playing with the styles. Neither post gives a release date, a rollout plan, or a list of styles beyond what the video shows.

Checked on November 12, 2026, Notion has not published this as a release. The Releases page still lists October 19, 2026 as the newest release, and that page does not mention button styles. The buttons Help article still says to edit a button's styling, name, and actions. It does not name Primary, Outline, Tint, Custom color, or a primary blue style, and it does not say these styles are available. The article's note that buttons exist on all plans describes the current button block. It does not assign a plan to this preview.

Why it matters

Page buttons are how a team runs a small action, such as inserting blocks or updating a database, without building an automation from scratch. A stronger visual style would make a primary action easier to spot on a page.

Until Notion documents the styles, treat the November 11 video as a preview. The Help article is still the source for how to create a button, which actions exist, and which of those actions require a paid plan. Do not write an internal rollout around Primary, Outline, Tint, or a primary blue style yet.
