    Some properties take up too much space. For instance, the number property - oftentimes it shouldn't be that wide.

    Don’t worry, you won’t lose any data. Notion stores the values an other setting (rollup in my case)

    ⚠️
    Don’t resize property after you’ve minimized it - it will have the default minimal width, so you need to change the property type again.

    So here it is, a quick guide on how to create a narrow column in a Notion database - a small but important step towards an aesthetic workspace!

    Best of luck! ✌️
