Manage linked databases
Control which Notion databases your app can read and write.
Open Databases
Section titled “Open Databases”- Open the app in the builder.
- Click Databases in the left rail (not Settings).
- Review the list of linked databases and their status.
Typical maker tasks
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “After linking”- Reload and sync so schema and records appear in Screens
- Map fields on List / Details / Forms
- If the app is Private, revisit Data Restriction when personalization properties changed
