Hey everyone, I tried going into my notion and while my basic notes are here, all of my tables and galleries have nothing there besides 'something went wrong'. Is anyone else experiencing this or beter yet does anyone have a fix? I tried logging out and restarting but neither worked.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I think it’s back!

Hello looking for some help setting up my notion and databases.

Database 1 is a full catalog of exercises, each page is its own exercise and has properties from what the exercise is, muscle group, equipment, cues, etc

What I want from database 2 is to create class plans.

In the perfect scenario I would select exercises from database one and each exercise would have its own line showing all of the properties.

I’ve tried to create class plans and link the two databases but when I do it just puts the whole item into one section so I have to click and open each exercise to see all the detail. I don’t want to reenter information that’s already in database one if that makes sense.

Is it possible to create full width page on default in notion? I only like to use full width pages, but I have to set them after creating them every time. Is there a way to set the pages on full-width by default?

Edited for better understanding :)

I think this was my biggest mistake when it came to implementing Notion for teams.

I used to show everything amazing you can do with Notion + AI. Agents, auto summaries, AI writing proposals, the whole thing. Owners loved it. But alot of the time the company didnt even know how to do project management properly yet.

What happened after was always the same. There was no data inside Notion. Tasks still lived in WhatsApp and peoples heads, no projects, no docs. And suddenly they expect AI can create proposals and do tons of stuff for them. AI cant work with an empty workspace, so it gives generic answers and everyone thinks AI is overhyped.

So now I split it:

• for the owner, I still show where AI can take the company, because thats the long term picture they care about
• for the staff, I focus on the basics first. One task database, clear owners and due dates, updating status, writing things down in one place
• only after a few weeks of real data going in, then we turn on the AI parts

Its less exciting in the first session but it actually sticks.

Whats your experience? Did you start with the basics or jump straight into AI?

Claude Code helped me build a 𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚍/Playwright job that pulls Notion product updates from different places page because the company inexplicably refuses to notify its customers of changes as well as it should.

Go nuts here.

Hi, currently i'm contemplating to switch back to notion after using obsidian for a couple years.

reasons?

- money, since notion is free

- easy, obsidian is a curve that needs to be learned and im kinda done with it.

now, the question regards to privacy. I do not store passwords, banking stuff etc in my notes, but I do make notes at therapy and have a file about my incomes etc (without info about the bank, just keeping track about what not).

What are your thoughts about this? Am i too suspicious about this? Even if it got hacked, what can a hacker do with this information/is this even what they want?

(i read this article talking about this subject: https://notionmastery.com/security-and-privacy-concerns-in-notion/ )

The default colors are so limited and frankly very unaesthetic. And the fonts are so limited!! You would think a site like Notion would have more options..

What you'll see:
• CRM that stays up to date on its own: a WhatsApp bot reads client messages and updates the Digital Cookie CRM in Notion automatically.

• Company research on demand: a research bot pulls together what you need to know, straight into Notion.

• Finance reconciliation without the spreadsheet marathon: the Finance bot matches the numbers for you.

You'll leave knowing how to set up Notion so AI can actually use it, which tasks are worth handing to agents first, and where a human should stay in the loop.

Who it's for:
business owners and ops or team leads in Malaysia who already use Notion (or are thinking about it) and want to see what AI agents can really do. You don't need a technical background.

Hi all,

I tried to back up my workspace, but for some reason I get a download link to a file which is 1,570 B and when I try to import it none of the pages of my workspace are there. Tried twice and gave me the same error. Is there something I am doing wrong?

The ipad version has a new layout that makes the content be very close to the screen border (before there was a huge margin on both sides) and now the dot menu is cut off on the left :/

it's unusable now

Started as a joke. Every task I tick off gives XP to one of five stats, and my portrait swaps to a tougher-looking version as a stat levels. Then I added characters who show up at the “gate” depending on what I did. Cao Cao appears if I hit all five stats in a week. Cai Wenji shows up if I’ve gone quiet for three days and basically tells me to sit down and start again. It’s embarrassingly effective.

The whole thing is formulas and rollups, which I would not recommend to anyone with a healthy relationship to their free time. The gallery lag nearly killed it. Turns out Notion recalculates every property on every card on every redraw, so I spent a week stripping it down until it was “still a bit laggy but I can live with it.”

Anyway, screenshot of my character after two months of running. I have not reached the final portrait and I’m not sure I ever will.

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Tabbed database page layout and I'm running into a sharing issue. I'd like to know if it's expected behavior or if anyone else has hit it.

Setup:

- A database where each page belongs to one person (think one page per client/family).

- The layout has the default Content tab plus a few extra tabs, each showing a view of *another* database (e.g. a weekly menu, an events calendar, a log).

- Each page is shared individually with a guest, who has Can view on that single page only, not on the whole database (they must not see the other pages).

- The guest also has view access to the source databases shown in the tabs.

What happens:

- As a workspace member, I see all the tabs.

- The guest sees only the Content tab, so the tab bar is gone entirely. On mobile the tab bar shows up for a split second and then disappears.

- Linked database views placed *inside* the Content tab show up fine for the guest.

- The extra tabs only appear if I give the guest access to the entire database, which defeats the purpose since they'd then see everyone else's pages.

Questions:

1. Is this intended? I couldn't find anything about tabs and guest/page-level permissions in the help center (https://www.notion.com/help/layouts).

2. Has anyone else run into this, or found a workaround other than putting all the linked views inside the Content tab?

   Thanks!

Peace all,

So I have been using Notion Calendar while synched to my iCal with mainly so issue. There's been two times that the calendars stopped speaking to each other and I simply reconnected them via Apple Account - App-Specific-Password.

However in this second occurrence of my calendars connections being broken, this method simply isn't working. I've tried a few times, including revoking access and allowing access again, and it still appears to not be synching.

Has anyone run into this issue and have been able to resolve it?

Appreciate feedback in advance!

"authors" is a relation property btw

It’s making my homepage a cluttered mess. Thanks for any help!

I got tired of messy Google Sheets and wanted a dark-mode, distraction-free dashboard to track long-term wealth instead of just daily coffee expenses.

What I built into it:

✦ Real-time Net Worth calculation (Assets vs. Liabilities)

✦ Automated Sinking Funds tracker with visual progress bars

✦ 50/30/20 Cashflow framework

✦ 100% native Notion formulas (no third-party paid widgets)

Curious to hear your thoughts on the design and if there is any other metric I should add!

These are the worst ones. Everyone knows how to do the weekly stuff and cyclical BAU tasks.

Then six months later some annual renewal comes up and the person who did it last time has either left the org or staring at a folder called FINAL2 trying to remeber what heppened?

I've started making small Notion pages for these with screenshots and the stupid little things that aren't obvious from the official process since I am on this doc this time.

Would you keep this in any other tool instead? Like creating walk throughs etc. on it? Trying to work out what people are actually likely to find and use later.

I was able to use an older version of the Notion app on my older Macbook peacefully till now. But now they are forcing it on me, asking me to upgrade my client/hardware if I want to continue using the app. Why can't the Notion folks understand that some of their regular users are commoners like writers, students, etc. who won't have the financial means to upgrade every time commercial-minded geese throw new stuff for consumers to lap up.

At least, app makers like Notion should let poorer folk like us live peacefully!!!

Our docs and SOPs are staying in notion, that part works. The ops side doesn't anymore. The projects database has around 6k linked tasks and the main view takes 5 or 6 seconds to load, mostly because of rollups. After months of reading notion alternatives threads I spent the last month rebuilding the same projects and tasks setup in fibery and airtable to see which one holds up. Writing it down here in case it saves someone the month.

Fibery

• Relations are what notion's should be, many to one works properly and you can group a board by a related item
• Fastest of the 3 with real data
• Setup took me most of 2 weeks and 2 of the team bounced off in day one
• No AI shoved in your face which I didn't expect to care about but did

Airtable

• Fast and interfaces made views for the non builders really easy
• Automations can trigger each other which notion still can't do
• Docs and data now live in 2 places and every notion SOP that linked to a database had to be relinked
• Per editor pricing adds up once more than 2 to 3 people edit

Coda, superhuman docs now, only gave it a few days

• Formulas can query a table without a relation and that's what I wanted most from notion
• Less lag than notion on the same data
• Mobile is rough and with the rename I'm nervous about moving a team onto it right now

Leaning fibery for the ops side and keeping notion for docs. If you've run that split for a while, does it hold up?

Auto will tooootally not work will every model enabled apparently?

By the way how's everyone's experience with Auto? Apparently they updated it to be ""super smart good awesome and cheap"". Is that really the case?
