Divider

A horizontal line block in Notion that visually separates sections or content areas within a page, improving readability and organization.

Definition

A Divider in Notion is a simple horizontal rule block used to break up content into distinct sections. It spans the width of the content column, providing a clear visual cue that one topic or section has ended and another is beginning. Dividers are a core building block that helps maintain a clean, well-organized layout on any page or database entry.

Usage & Context

You can add a Divider anywhere in your Notion page by typing “/divider” or selecting it from the block menu. This block can be placed between text, images, database views, or other blocks to create a clear boundary. You can also drag and drop the Divider block to reposition it as your page evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I insert a Divider in Notion?
Click the “+” that appears when you hover between blocks, choose “Divider” from the menu, or type “/divider” and press Enter.
Can I change the style or color of a Divider?
Notion’s Divider has a fixed style and color, but you can adjust adjacent text colors or background colors on other blocks to create contrast around the Divider.
Will Dividers appear in exported documents?
Yes. When you export a Notion page to PDF, Markdown, or HTML, Dividers are retained as horizontal rules in the output file.

Benefits

Using Dividers enhances page readability, helps users scan for key sections, and adds a professional look to notes, wikis, and forms by clearly segmenting content.
