Accordions are available as custom blocks. Accordions are expanders and will open to show additional content. A great use for accordions is for a list of frequently asked questions or sectioning policies or departments. Accordions prevent pages from getting too lengthy by dividing, then hiding, long sections of information. Instead of scrolling through all the content, viewers can click to open a specific section of information. 

Each accordion has a title; the part that is clicked for expansion. The part that expands allows for a full editing toolbar. This means that any sort of information you can add to body content of a page, such as an image or embed code, can also be displayed in the expanding section of an accordion. 

Things to Note 

• There is one style for accordions, using the brand blue. 
• Accordion option available: "Allow Multiple Accordion Items Open". This will enable multiple to be open at once, otherwise, only one will be open at a time.
• Accordion option available: "Allow All Accordion Items to be Closed". If this is selected, then all accordions can be closed, otherwise, the last one clicked will remain open. 
• One accordion can be open by default with a check box in the proper accordion item. 
• When using source mode on an item, be sure to click back to regular edit mode (by clicking on source again), before opening a new item or saving.
