You might want to share content between multiple sites using a single, shared database. Super can load any subpage onto a site, but it cannot load pages that exist outside the homepage hierarchy in Notion. This can be a challenge, as a shared database can normally only exist as a subpage of one site.

Fortunately, there’s a workaround: nesting sites.

How to Nest Sites to Share a Database

Suppose you want two sites, Site 1 and Site 2, to share a common database.

  1. In Notion, make Site 2 a subpage of Site 1.

  2. Place the shared database as a subpage somewhere within Site 2.

By nesting the sites this way, Super can access the database from both sites while keeping the hierarchy intact.

Site 1 will have access to everything in the Site 2 hierarchy.

If you need to hide Site 2 on Site 1, then hide the subpage on the new site using CSS.
