This new feature will be especially appreciated by Notion power users managing large databases with properties, relations, and page content.

The new Tabbed Layout lets you create tabs for the Relation property of a database, allowing you to customize how related pages are displayed within each database page.


How to Enable the New Tabbed Layout

  1. Open a database page in Notion.

  2. Hover over the page title to reveal and click “Customize Layout.”

  1. Click “Page Settings” in the top left corner.

  2. In the right sidebar, under Structure, select “Tabbed” (the default is “Simple”).

  1. You’ll see a default “Content” tab, which displays page properties and content. Next to it, there’s a ”+” icon to create new tabs.

  2. Click the ”+” icon to choose an existing Relation property or add a new one.

  1. Customize the view just like creating a new database view. Choose the layout, visible properties, filters, and sorting to match your needs.
