Quick summary

Linking a database in Notion lets you display the same data source on multiple pages without duplicating it. Using the /linked slash command, you can insert a linked view of a data source in just a few clicks.

Steps

Open the Notion page where you want to add the linked database.
Click the blank space on the page to place your cursor.
Type /linked to open the block menu.
Click Linked view of data source from the dropdown menu.
Select the database from the database panel.
Your linked database is now embedded — you can view the same data from another page.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's linked database feature lets teams surface the same data source across multiple pages without duplicating or manually syncing records, keeping information consistent and up to date workspace-wide. This is especially valuable for project management, CRM tracking, and content calendars where multiple stakeholders need a filtered or full view of shared data. By using a simple slash command, any Notion user can embed a linked view in seconds, eliminating redundant databases and reducing the risk of information silos. Mastering linked databases is one of the most impactful Notion skills for teams looking to build a scalable, interconnected knowledge base.
