Expandable Section

An expandable section gives a hierarchy to a page.

Overview

The Expandable Section component, also known as an Accordion, allows the user to hide or show content within a section of the interface. It typically consists of a title or header and a content area that is initially hidden and can be revealed by clicking on the title. When the content is revealed, it expands to display the contained information and can be hidden again by clicking on the title.
The Expandable Section component is often used to organize and present information in a concise and easy-to-navigate manner. It can be particularly useful in scenarios where the user needs to view or access a large amount of information, as it allows them to reveal only the information they need selectively.
It may also include formatting options for the title and content areas, such as font size and color.

Changing the properties

Making the Expandable section Closed and/or Collapsible

By making it Collapsible, a chevron button icon will be added to expand the section content.
The Closed attribute makes the expandable section closed by default. The user will need to click on the section's title to open and view the content.

Choosing a variant

The variant attribute is defining the appearance of the expandable section header. However, the section header styling can be overridden by customizing styling settings from the Style panel.

Adding Content

Title and Content attributes can be filled manually or by selecting any your flow resources available.

Adding Interactions
