Expandable

Add an expandable block to a page to keep your pages shorter, hide longer content, or create FAQs

Expandable blocks are helpful in condensing what could otherwise be a lengthy paragraph. They are also great in step-by-step guides and FAQs.

By default, expandable blocks will be collapsed on your published docs site. If you want an expandable block to be expanded by default, open the block’s Options menu and choose Expanded by default.

Example

Step 1: Start using expandable blocks

To add an expandable block hit / on an empty block, or click the + on the left of the editor, and select Expandable.

Optionally, you can set expanded blocks to be Expanded by default in the block’s Options menu — just like this block.

Step 2: Add content to your block

Once you’ve inserted an expandable block, you can add content to it — including lists and code blocks.

Limitations

There are some limitations on which blocks you can create inside of an expandable block. You can insert the following types of content into expandable blocks:

• Paragraphs
• Headings (1, 2, and 3)
• Unordered, ordered, and task lists
• Inline images

To check the full list at any time, start a new line in an expandable block and press / to bring up the insert palette.
