Note that if you choose not to commit, the workflow feature (see below) won't work for you. Imagine the case where a document that previously had a `Status` property of `Publish` now has a different status. You probably want to keep publishing the old version until the new one is ready.

By default, pages will be given a slug based on the Notion id. For a human-readable URL, add a notion property named `Slug` to your database pages and enter a value in there that will work well in a URL. That is, no spaces, ?, #, /, etc.
