In our tutorial, we will be dividing up our page into three (3) columns: CareerExerciseLearning Each column will have three pages assigned to it. Hold Down the "Shift" Key and Select all the Content for Your Second Column Now we want to move one of the sections and create a second column. The way we do this is to select the section. Do this by holding down the "Shift" key, click and drag your mouse to select the section as shown in the screenshot above. Drag Selected Content to the Far Right of the First Content Next, drag the section up and to the far right of the existing column as shown above. Make sure you see the vertical blue bar as shown in the image above as this indicates that you are adding a new column. Release the Mouse Button to Set Your Column in the Row Once you see the blue bar, release the mouse button to place your section into its new home in a newly created second column. Repeat Prior Steps to Add More Columns to Same Row To create a third column, simply select the content you want to be in the third column by holding down the "Shift" key, clicking and dragging your mouse. Next, drag your section to the far right as shown in the screenshot above. Once you see the vertical blue line, release the mouse button to place your content. You should now see your content in a third column. Using columns really makes your Notion page look more visually appealing. I hope this tutorial was helpful to you. Good luck!
