How to create columns in Notion explained

Notion is not just an app that allows you to create notes, its functionality is much broader than it might seem at first glance. That is, you can create not just notes, but entire databases and it can be handy. Especially if you need to stay in touch with your team and manage the various tasks and structure them properly to ensure they are perceived correctly.

So it’s not just a Reminder app, it’s more of a diary or task management base that you can use from different devices to set goals and give comments (and feedback) to your team.

However, just writing everything in plain text isn’t a good idea because it’s not the best format to use. Therefore, I recommend that you use different design features to make the information in a way that is best understood.

For example, you can create columns to improve the perception of the content. For example, you can write the name of the task in one column and provide a broader description or implementation steps in a second column.

Can you create columns in Notion?

One of the most useful features in Notion (in my humble opinion) is creating columns, and you can create them without creating a table.

This helps to place two different types of content side by side to make them easier to understand.

In fact, creating columns in Notion is easier than you might think. Here’s what you need to do to create columns in Notion:

  • Select with the cursor the piece of text that you want to make a column.
  • Click on the dots icon to move the fragment.
  • Drag the text to the left or right, but don’t drop it below the blue horizontal line.
  • Drag the text until you see a vertical blue line.
  • Release the text when it’s at the location you want

That’s all you need to create a column in Notion. You can use the steps at the top to move the column if you want.
