How to Create a Folder in Notion

Quick summary

In Notion, every page acts as a folder, allowing you to create nested sub-pages that replicate a traditional folder structure. This demo walks you through creating a new page, naming it, and building a multi-level folder hierarchy using the slash command.

Steps

1. Since every page acts as a folder, select New page to start creating your first folder.
2. Name your page to give the folder a clear, recognizable title.
3. Use the slash command (/page) inside your new page to embed a sub-page and create a subfolder.
4. Name your sub-page to identify this nested folder level.
5. Continue the loop by using /page again inside the sub-page to create an additional sub-sub-folder, just like nested folders.
6. View your complete folders directory in the left sidebar menu to confirm the hierarchy.
