The Grouping Guide

In one of Notion’s all-time most impactful updates, you can now group database items by a specified property. Among countless examples, you can view:

• tasks by status or assignee;
• expenses by category or month;
• people by company or location;
• projects by department or client;
• restaurants by neighborhood or cuisine; and
• players by team or college.

The Grouping Guide is your full orientation to this exciting new feature.
