Notion doesn't let you set an expiry date on a shared link. Once you turn on "Share to web," that link stays active until you manually turn it off. There's no scheduled expiry, no view limit, no automatic cutoff.

For most use cases — sharing a project with a client, distributing course materials, selling a Notion template — that's a problem. You want the link to stop working after a certain date, or after a certain number of people have opened it.

Here's what you can actually do.

Why Notion has no native link expiry

Notion's sharing model is built around persistent access. A shared workspace is meant to stay shared. A public page stays public until you turn off the toggle. The assumption is that you're sharing with colleagues or publishing to the web — not distributing time-limited access to buyers or students.

If you want to stop sharing, your current options in Notion are: turn off "Share to web" (breaks the link for everyone) or remove individual invitees. There's no middle ground — no "expires on November 30" or "after 50 views."

Setting an expiry date with Notions11

The easiest way to add link expiry to a Notion page is to wrap it in a Notions11 link. Notions11 sits in front of your public Notion page and handles access control — including expiry.

Notions11 Pro supports two types of expiry:

• Date-based expiry — the link stops working after a specific date. Useful for time-limited previews, event access, or trial content.
• View-count-based expiry — the link stops working after N opens. Useful when selling a template or distributing something to a specific number of people.

Here's how to set it up:

1. In Notion, turn on "Share to web" and copy your page link.
2. Go to notions11.com and paste your Notion link.
3. In the link settings, look for the "Set expiry" option. Choose either a date or a view limit.
4. Save the link. You'll get a notions11.com/your-slug URL to share.

When the expiry condition is met — the date passes or the view limit is hit — anyone who tries to open the Notions11 link gets a "link expired" page instead of your Notion content.

You can also set a password alongside the expiry. The combination (password + expiry date) is common for selling Notion templates: buyers get the password in their receipt, the link expires 30 days after purchase, and anyone who forwards the link hits both gates.

Example use cases

What happens when a link expires?

The Notions11 link shows an expired state. Your original Notion page is unaffected — it stays exactly as it is. Only the Notions11 gate stops forwarding traffic to it.

You can update the expiry date or reset the view count from your Notions11 dashboard if you need to extend access. Or create a new Notions11 link to the same Notion page with new settings.

What about disabling a link manually?

If you just need to stop sharing a specific link immediately — rather than on a schedule — you can delete it from your dashboard. That's free tier. Expiry (scheduled or view-limited) requires Notions11 Pro at $5/month.

One limitation to know

Notions11 gates access at the link level, not the page level. Your underlying Notion page stays public — it has to be, so the forward works. The expiry stops people from reaching that page through your Notions11 link, but it doesn't prevent someone with the original Notion URL from reaching it directly.

For most template and course distribution use cases, this is fine. If you need truly revocable access, turn off "Share to web" in Notion after the expiry as well. For day-to-day distribution, combining expiry with a password is the practical solution — see how to password protect a Notion page.

Quick summary

Notion has no native link expiry. To add it:

1. Wrap your Notion link in Notions11 (free to start, expiry requires Pro at $5/month)
2. Set either a date expiry or a view-count limit
3. Share the Notions11 link instead of the direct Notion URL

The link will stop working when the condition is met. Your Notion page stays unchanged.
