At minute 4:40 I don't see the "now" or "today" option. How do you configure it?

[@creative_cove]

Hmm that's strange, it should display by default

Hi! How to open first item in database?

[@creative_cove]

You can't set it to open the first item but you could set it to open a specific page using the 'Open page' feature.

I’m on Mac and it won’t let me add a button the option doesn’t show up as all I’ve clicked all over the screen

[@creative_cove]

I'm on Mac too so it should work. Are you able to see the block menu? It usually displays if you just type a forward slash ( / ) anywhere on the page. You can then search for the button block.

Megan, I really find your Notion channel so helpful. Something happened to the sound level on this one. Just hear you with the volume on full. But got your button example working for my journal pages. Very smart. One extra thing I would like to do is add the title in like this "2023-10-16 Mon". Tried using @today but it doesn't work. Have you found a way to do this?

[@creative_cove]

Thanks for the tip, I just got a new mic so still figuring it out. Currently I can't think of a way to add that automatically but I'll have a think and see if it's possible :)
