All the @notion.com gurus are saying not to change existing databases over to use the brand new multi-source capabilities. So of course I did the exact opposite.

First, the workspace I made the change on is only used by myself. I don’t have to worry about training anyone else on the new way of doing things. Second, I was only using a single view each (within the database) for the 9 sources that I merged under that new single “CRM” database umbrella.

Third, I knew that I could undo it all very easily and go back to separate databases any time. Fourth, I have a suspicion that this new structure by Notion is laying the groundwork for something much bigger. And on the off chance I'm right, I want to start getting familiar with this way of working.

After playing with it throughout today I’m very glad I made the change. When working on the backend of my CRM I no longer have to bounce between multiple pages. Instead each main source is just a tab click away.
