Quick summary
A Notion dashboard centralizes your work and personal information on a single, organized page using headings, toggle lists, and multi-column layouts. This tutorial walks you through every step needed to create a dashboard in Notion from a blank page to a polished, icon-labeled workspace.
Steps
- Start with a new empty page in Notion.
- Name your dashboard by typing a title at the top of the page.
- Choose a section heading block to build your first dashboard section.
- Type "Professional" as your first heading to group work-related items.
- Add toggle lists to create collapsible, neatly organized content blocks.
- Add a few list headings inside the toggle section to label your content.
- Click any toggle list to expand it and add sub-items.
- Link a table that holds your data under the Expenses toggle.
- Continue adding items to each toggle list where appropriate.
- Use the /divider slash command to insert a divider block between headings and content.
- Repeat the same steps to create additional sections on your dashboard.
- Drag to select multiple blocks at once for bulk editing.
- Use the six-dot handle to drag blocks next to Professional and create a two-column layout.
- Add an icon to the page so your dashboard is easy to identify in the sidebar.
- Add a cover photo to make the dashboard visually appealing.
- Your simple yet powerful Notion dashboard is now complete and ready to use.
