<aside> ℹ️ As of February 25, 2023 (Notion 2.21.23.12.0.15), the “All” tab has returned. You may not need this hack anymore. This is confirmed by Notion founder Ivan Zhao.

Since one week ago, the “All” and “Following” tabs, one of the features I use most, are missing from the Updates page in Notion.

At first I thought it was a glitch as the tabs were back in a patch update, then they disappeared again in a few days. I looked around and found that lots of people suffered as well.

• Reddit
• Twitter

I was about to contact Notion support when I read this comment:

I messaged notion support about this and it doesn’t look like it’s coming back. They just said this was the “new feature”. Maybe if enough of us ask for it, they’ll consider it.

…which is confirmed by the just published 2.20 release notes. One can only rely on themself now.

I noticed if I open the Updates page fast enough, the missing tabs would show for a brief moment, which leads me to the conclusion that they are hidden behind feature toggles instead of fully removed. After digging into Notion’s source code, I published my hack to Reddit.

How to use the hack?

February 14, 2023 updated script for Notion 2.20.23.12.0.5

For desktop app

1. Open preload.js with a text editor
   • On Windows, it is located at %LocalAppData%\\Programs\\Notion\\resources\\app\\renderer\\preload.js
   • On macOS, it is located at /Applications/Notion.app/Contents/Resources/app/renderer/preload.js
2. Open the script and copy the contents
3. Paste the contents at the end of preload.js. Backup first if you are afraid of messing up.
4. It should work now. Note you need to repeat it every time the desktop app or the script updates.

For browser

1. Install a Userscript manager, such as Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey
