Embed a database in a document

Patterns that suit an embed

• Meeting notes + next-steps table — put the action list at the end of the notes page
• Project page + goal metrics — put goal status in the project document
• Team handbook + member table — embed the member directory on the onboarding page
• Issue page + related bugs — put the related list in the troubleshooting document

Step 1 — insert the database block

Step 2 — reading it inside the document

• The Open button in the header → go to the full database page
• Click a row → open that record's detail view
• Up to 30 rows are shown by default (a performance guard). Use Open to see more
• It starts in the default table view — switch views on the full page when you need another one

Inside the document you check the latest content quickly; real editing happens full screen.

Step 3 — staying up to date

• Someone else edits the DB → reopen the Wiki page with the embed and you see the latest data
• You click a row in the embed → navigate to the full page → edit, and it's refreshed as soon as you come back to the Wiki
• An embed of a deleted DB shows a "couldn't load the database" notice

When the database changes, what the document shows is up to date too.
