How to strikethrough in Notion (with keyboard shortcut)

Have you ever been working in Notion and needed to mark something as done, irrelevant, or simply crossed out without deleting it? Strikethrough is a great way to do this. It keeps the text visible but clearly shows it's no longer current or important.

Using strikethrough can help you track progress, make edits, or just keep your notes tidy. It's a simple formatting trick that makes a big difference in how you organize your information, especially when collaborating with others or managing long lists.

Knowing how to apply this formatting quickly can save you time and make your Notion pages even more powerful. We'll show you a few easy methods, including a handy keyboard shortcut.

So now let’s get started.

Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be able to quickly and easily add a strikethrough to any text in your Notion pages, making your content clearer and more organized.

First, open your Notion page and find the text you want to strike through. Use your mouse to click and drag over the words or sentences you wish to format. This will highlight the text, letting Notion know which part you would like to change.

Once your text is selected, a small floating toolbar will appear just above or below the highlighted text. In this menu, you will see an option for strikethrough, often represented by an "S" with a line through it or the full word "Strikethrough". Click on this option, and your selected text will instantly have a line through it.

For a faster way to strikethrough, you can use a keyboard shortcut. After selecting your text as described in Step 1, simply press `Ctrl + Shift + S` on Windows or `Cmd + Shift + S` on a Mac. This shortcut is a universal way to apply strikethrough in Notion, no matter what kind of block you are using. This method is often preferred for its speed and efficiency, especially if you apply strikethrough frequently.

Now you know several easy ways to strikethrough text in Notion. Whether you prefer using the quick keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + S`) or the intuitive formatting menu, you have all the tools to manage your tasks and notes effectively. Incorporating strikethrough into your Notion workflow will help you keep your information organized and clear, ensuring nothing important is overlooked or left ambiguous.
