  • In Notion, Gallery databases can beautifully showcase photos and text in a gallery.

  • Each card in a gallery has its own page for adding content.

  • Database pages have a customizable Properties section at the top. Any changes to properties will affect the entire database.

  • To access a galleryโ€™s main menu, click on the three-dot icon at the top right of the database.

    • In the Layout section, you can choose to display your pageโ€™s content, or cover image, on your gallery cards. You can even use Unsplash to get custom page covers without leaving Notion.

    • You may also choose your card size: small, medium or large.

  • Apply filters to your database view in the Filter section.

  • Use the Group by option to group team members by one of their properties.

  • Finally, you can lock your database to prevent accidental changes by team members.
