It would be cool if we could eventually use the confirmation button to make advanced decision trees to guide us through different workflows. Something like “Good morning [user], here are your 3 most important task, where would you like to focus?” and just guides you through the daily planning process based on your own decisions.

Hey man. I am fairly new to notion. It is changing my the way I run my life. (I use August Bradleys PPV system) There is just not enough well explained information on how to use these new features like buttons. You have done an amazing job at showing the true magic of what these can do. Thank you! I have become a follower!

@@benjaminborowski That was my first thought too. I ended up making a makeshift button by creating a blank view of that database on my homepage (filtering out any progress and hiding all properties). Now creating a new entry brings up the updated default template that includes buttons for starting and finishing the task, as well as tracking progress in a linked database. I'm excited to see what else they add to this feature!

Amazing demo of the first internal automation tool. Thank you Ben. As there is no way to copy the Name of the Task while converting it to Project how about just maintaing one database with Sub Types of Tasks and Projects, so just converting "This Page" type to Projects will do the trick.

I opened a ticket wtih Notion on this - but I noticed that if your database has a large number of properties, and you create a Button to add a page to a database, not all of the properties are listed nor can they be accessed via search when you click on the "Edit another property" drop down.

A nice idea, but you cannot delete data with buttons, nor move pages. Status columns are the best way to archive data, using filters to hide them from views.

Is there a way to make the changes you make to a template automatically update the instances of that template that already exist?
@benjaminborowski

Not without using the API, no. That would involve finding all the instances of the template and using the API to add new blocks to the page. The API is also limited in scope (can't create Linked Views or Link Previews, for example). So mostly: no.

You can configure properties to show in the Relation picker by clicking the "+" button and then clicking the "..." menu that appears in _that_ menu. It's one of the least intuitive interfaces in Notion, so it's understandable that you may have missed this.

That sounds very odd. I don't think you are creating new pages with buttons if they are linked in some one. Sorry I can't help because I don't really understand what you mean. If you follow this video's steps and the pages are linked, this would be a very bad bug and you should report it to Notion support.

Is there a reason to use the old method of project/task vs the new subtask?
@benjaminborowski

Absolutely. Separate relationships give you more control over how you present information and if you have complex properties, it can be overwhelming to have tons of properties in the same database. If you have a very simple Project Task setup, sub-items can work just fine though.
