# How do teams keep a growing Notion workspace consistent when everyone organises pages differently?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I'm putting together notes on how teams keep a growing <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/notion/reviews">Notion</a> workspace consistent when everyone organises pages their own way. The answer most teams land on is deciding the structure, and who owns it, before the workspace grows: a more opinionated setup with clear governance, templates for recurring page types, and a convention for where new pages go. The consistency drift described in G2 reviews appears in large teams rather than small ones.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">There seem to be two kinds of team using it, with different needs. A small team benefits from the flexibility as it stands, since linked pages, nesting and the drag-and-drop layout let the workspace follow how they already think. A large team gets the same flexibility, and for them it's what makes a governance decision necessary. In a <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/knowledge-base">knowledge base</a>, that makes Notion a strong fit for teams willing to agree a convention, because the tool will hold whatever structure they choose.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Two approaches keep coming up, and I'm curious which held up for you:</p><ul>
<li>A shallow hierarchy with search doing most of the finding</li>
<li>A landing page or index that does the navigating, so depth stops mattering</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What did you change after watching a new joiner try to find something? And who on your team owns the structure now?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Curious if anyone gives each team its own landing page that links into one shared index. Seems like it could keep things consistent without one person owning everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
