# Manage linked databases

Control which Notion databases your app can read and write.

## Open Databases

1. Open the app in the builder.
2. Click **Databases** in the left rail (not Settings).
3. Review the list of linked databases and their status.

## Typical maker tasks

* **Confirm the right databases are linked** after you connect Notion or switch workspaces
* **Link an additional database** when you add a new screen that needs a new Notion source
* **Understand why a property is missing** — often the database is not linked, or schema has not been reloaded after a Notion change

## Manage databases entry points

The Databases workspace includes manage/link controls (product copy may say **Manage databases**). Use them when:

* You created a new database in Notion for this app
* A relation points at a database the app cannot see yet
* You need to reconnect after workspace permission changes

## After linking

1. [Reload and sync](/databases/reload-and-sync.md) so schema and records appear in Screens
2. Map fields on List / Details / Forms
3. If the app is Private, revisit [Data Restriction](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/data-restriction) when personalization properties changed
