Update existing Notion pages with a form
Make a form that edits existing pages from Notion, and pre-fills fields with data from the page.
1. Switch your form to update mode
First, choose
Notion
on the Integrations tab.![notion image](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.notion.so%2Fimage%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%252F2a7ed980-5add-4b51-82ab-889415f57134%252F78f1f589-7722-4fa3-8ac4-506d7dc9cbfd%252FScreen_Shot_2023-10-19_at_4.35.25_PM.png%3Ftable%3Dblock%26id%3Df1ffbe0e-4c51-46a2-b5ce-3e3ca253a795%26cache%3Dv2&w=3840&q=75)

Then specify that you want to
Update page
. ![notion image](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.notion.so%2Fimage%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%252F2a7ed980-5add-4b51-82ab-889415f57134%252Fa183a8b7-9279-44bc-85d5-643f86a04baa%252FUntitled.png%3Ftable%3Dblock%26id%3Defc52914-b329-47ed-9555-b4ac675452d7%26cache%3Dv2&w=3840&q=75)
2. Use a formula to specify the page to update
You'll now get a formula that defines a unique link for every page in your table.
Create a new
formula
property in Notion and copy the formula Fillout provides on the integration page. ![notion image](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2Fb6f2e262-f8a9-41b8-9430-e62e722dc924%2FUntitled.png?table=block&id=01406958-e743-481b-aac7-127b24bb2b60&cache=v2)
ย
Adding a formula property is mostly for your convenience. If you already know the page ID of the page that you want to update, you can pass it into the URL yourself!
ย
Note: If you donโt provide an id in the unique URL, the form will create a new page instead.
ย
3. Preview your form
That's it! Click
Finish setup
. Try out your form in Preview
mode, or click one of your unique links to update a page after youโve published your form!ย
Your form is automatically pre-filled for whichever page it is updating.
![Note: selecting the record to update is provided as a convenience while in โpreviewโ mode.](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2Fde010fe7-3875-42da-98a4-27f0414b290c%2FUntitled.png?table=block&id=bc7a9663-aa59-4273-abd4-3af25604a089&cache=v2)

Note: In Notion, the formulas with the links to update the records are most easily clickable when using a Table view.
