Accordion

Section + block documentation

What is an accordion?

An Accordion section or block displays stacked, expandable information tabs which can be used to display additional details, FAQs, step-by-step instruction, and more.

Accordions support multiple types of content: you can add and customize text, image, and/or video content; you can also dynamically import blog posts or pages directly into each block.

Add and customize text, image, and or video content or import details from a blog post or page directly into each row block.

The Show full width setting will stretch the accordion row the full width of your page. Useful for sections with longer-form content, i.e. multiple paragraphs or images.

Use blog post or page content

Accordion blocks support selecting from published Blog posts or Pages to pull content directly into individual blocks. This will not pull content added via template, just body HTML from the actual post/page content.

If a post or page is selected, this content will overwrite any custom content set within the block itself.
