There are no folders in Notion. Instead, you can organize pages inside pages... inside pages. Here, we'll show you how to create a page within another page, which we call a subpage 📑


A subpage is a page inside a page. You can create any number of subpages for a page.

There are multiple ways to create a subpage:

  • Open a page (this will be the subpage’s parent page) and use the slash command /page.

  • Find your desired parent page in your sidebar and select + next to it. This will create a subpage in that page. When you return to the parent page, you’ll see the subpage there.

Once your new page opens, you can give your page a title and start jotting down your thoughts.

Need some inspiration or structure? On desktop or web, select any of the options at the bottom of the page to get started. You can import from an app or file, use a template, create a table, and more — select an option you like, and your page will be formatted accordingly!

When you open the toggle for the parent page in your sidebar, you’ll see its subpages there.

Additionally, at the top of your page, you’ll see breadcrumbs that show you what page you’re in, and where that page lives.

The pages in your workspace can be easily rearranged.

  • To take a subpage out of its parent page, click on it in the sidebar and drag it out of the parent page's toggle.

  • To make a page a subpage, click on it in the sidebar and drag it into another page.
