How I solved the dummy data problem in my Notion template

Tips & Tricks

After I built my Notion CRM template I realized something, dummy data is annoying to delete, but without it everything looks confusing and empty. So I separated them. Buyers get a clean version ready to use, but the demo with all the sample data is still accessible so they can reference it anytime. Felt like such an obvious fix once I thought about it.

If you want to do the same for your templates, build the empty version first, then duplicate it and add your dummy data to the duplicate. Then in your main clean template, add a "Link to page" pointing to the demo version somewhere obvious. That way buyers start clean but still have a full example to look at whenever they need it.
