Use this interactive demo to learn how to place two blocks side by side in Notion.

Quick summary

In Notion, you can place blocks side by side by dragging one block's six-dot handle to the right of another until a blue indicator line appears. This column layout lets you organize content horizontally without any extra settings or plugins.


Steps

  1. Open the Notion page where you want to place blocks side by side.
  2. Under your first block, add a second block that you want to place beside it.
  3. Hover over the second block until the six-dot handle appears on the left.
  4. Click and drag the six-dot handle to the right side of the first block until you see a blue line.
  5. Drop the block when you see the vertical blue line to snap it into a side-by-side column layout.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's side-by-side block layout lets users create multi-column pages without any plugins or workarounds, making it a powerful tool for structuring notes, wikis, and project plans. Understanding how to drag blocks into columns directly improves information density and page readability. This feature is especially valuable for teams building internal knowledge bases or dashboards inside Notion, where clear visual organization drives faster decisions. Mastering block layout is one of the most searched Notion productivity skills for new and intermediate users alike.
