Overview

The "FAQ/Accordion" section and element is a great way to make your content-heavy pages appear less so. This section is made up of multiple items containing a head/title and body with expanded text, image and other content. The accordion gives a way for you and your brand to get creative with design. It's perfect for an FAQ page or FAQ section on a page. 

It can also be used as Menus or content which might behave cleaner using expandable sections. The point is to organize content in a way that makes navigation simpler for the page visitor, besides endless scrolling.

This section can be found in the "Text" section of the section library, or by searching for "FAQ" in the search bar:

A new FAQ/Accordion element can also be added to any existing section on the page by clicking on the "add element" button above/below an existing element and selecting the "FAQ" element:
