Please be aware that if you are encountering a blank screen or your data is not loading, it's possible that there is an issue with the Notion server, as all your data is stored there. In such a scenario, there isn't much you can do except wait for a few hours. Notion's company will likely address and resolve the issue automatically. Afterward, you can attempt to open Notion once again.
