Using Accordions can be helpful when you want to hide large blocks of text until a user clicks to expand them. This can help to improve the overall layout and readability of your content.

Using the Accordion in Copilot

  • Look for the Accordion icon in the Copilot text editor toolbar. The icon is right in between the Block Quote and Pull Quote icons.

  • When you click on the Accordion icon, a collapsible panel will appear where you can enter a heading and body.

  • Heading - Customize the title that appears above the collapsed panel. This provides a hint to users about the content within the Accordion.

  • Body - Add the text that you want to include within the collapsed section of Accordion Panel. Here you can also embed articles, galleries, external links, products, buttons, slideshows, tables – and anything you regularly embed in the body field.

Once you have finished drafting the content, you can save and publish.
