When Notion launched its “Side peek” view for databases, I was delighted. I use it almost all the time, as I enjoy having access to the rest of my parent page. But not all database layouts have the side peek view enabled by default.

So, how do you change the default peek view of ANY database?

‍

1. Click the following button, at the top-right of your database item page

2. Click “Edit view default”

3. Select your desired view for your database

‍

You can also access the feature by going to the “Layout” section of your database, then “Open pages in” option.
