Collapse

On this page

A Collapse shows a title with an arrow. Readers click the title to show the text under it, and click again to hide it. Use a few of them in a row for frequently asked questions. Some patterns in the FAQ category already hold a set, ready to fill.

The block picker offers the Collapse straight inside a Section, under Content, and inside a Group. It isn't offered directly inside a Collection or a Post Content section, or inside a form. Click a Collapse on the canvas to open its settings in the right sidebar.

Six Collapse blocks set to Plain with lines between them, each a question and an arrow, the second one open with its answer under the question

General

Setting What it does
Title The line readers click, such as a question. The default is "Click to expand".
Text What shows when the Collapse is open, such as the answer. You can also type it on the canvas, with links and formatting, as Edit text on the canvas describes.
Style The look: Plain (the title and the text alone), Filled (a box with a light fill, the default) or Outline (a box with a thin border).
Open by default Off by default. Turned on, the text shows when the page loads, and readers can still close it.

Each Collapse opens and closes on its own, so opening one does not close the others, and several can be open by default.

The title's and the text's size and color come from your styles and the section's color scheme. A Collapse has no Typography or Colors group of its own.

A Collapse also has Width from Layout settings, and the Display settings and Advanced settings of every block.
