Sections vs. Groups Explained (in 4.2 minutes) [updated 2025]

Note: This is a special part of the Substack Success Foundations Course offered off Substack

Ah, sections. If you’re like me, you’ve unknowingly gone down this dangerous road.

To group posts on your homepage, so they appear by topic rather than in chronological order, you want groups, not sections.

Sections are only if you want to create an entirely separate newsletter within your newsletter. Here’s Substack’s guide to setting up sections.


Also, don’t forget to bookmark the Substack Writers at Work homepage, where you’ll find everything that’s part of your paid subscription.

And! as a paid member, you get 24/7 Substack help from the Substack Writers at Work community here:

If you’re interested in a full overview and a step-by-step foundation to grow, you can find the Substack Success Foundations Course. The course isn’t part of the paid membership. It’s a complete online course. Enroll and find out more here.
