Object browser (Notion)
Naar navigatie springen
Naar zoeken springen
In Notion, the object browser, object navigator or object hierarchy is the section at the sidebar that displays the object hierarchy of the currrent workspace. I made up this name myself. You're welcome.
Pages, subpages and databases have the same symbol
A full-page database is a stand-alone database
A dot is a view
There is always a database above a view
Shocking new insight (2022.12.09): The object above a view, seems to always be a database table
Another example
Document vs. floppy icons?
I was sure that sometimes there are document-like icons in front of entities, and sometimes floppy-like icons. I think that's not the case: They are all document-like icons, but due to aliasing, the sometimes look a lot smaller - Just change the resolution to check this.
