Overview

A divider line separates sections in a note or page, making long content easier to scan. Add one between topics, steps, or other blocks to create a clear visual break.

Choose a line style, weight, and surrounding spacing to suit the page. You can also add a Divider to a board card.

When to use it

  • Separate different topics in a long note.

  • Mark the transition between sections in a project page.

  • Create a visual break between groups of instructions.

  • Make content inside a board card easier to scan.

Features and settings

Setting

Style

Choose Solid, Dashed, Dotted, Short, Dots, Elegant, or Gradient to change how the divider looks. Pick a style that makes the section break easy to spot without distracting from the content.

Setting

Line Weight

Choose Thin, Normal, or Thick to adjust the divider's visual weight. Use a lighter line for a subtle break or a thicker one when you want the separation to stand out.

Setting

Surrounding Spacing

Choose Tight, Normal, or Relaxed to adjust the space around the divider. Use tighter spacing when sections are closely related, or relaxed spacing when you want a clearer pause.
