3 Tips
1/ Page Preview
This update was quite impossible to miss, unless you know your workspace perfectly and navigate through it supersonically.
You can now see a preview of what's inside your page when you hover over it. It doesn't work with database items, but it might be added in a future update.
So, what do you think?

You can now bulk import files and media via ZIP file. Notion’s Universal Import supports:
- plain text

- XLS
- DSV
- ODS

3/ Notion Streaks Challenge Answer
A few weeks ago, I initiated a formula challenge in this newsletter. As a reminder, here was the problem:
I need to walk my dog every day, and I track this habit with checkboxes. If I checked the box 10 days in a row, the formula would calculate 10, but then if the 11th day I didn’t, it would reset to 0 and start counting again.
Well, we have a winner! Stéphane Larzet successfully found the Streaks formula 🎉
