Expansion Panels

Expansion panels are used to show large amounts of information in a more accessible way. Each panel contains information that defaults to being hidden, but is expanded upon clicking. Most often, expansion panels are used as a group, but occasionally there may be need for a single panel.

Functionality

Accordions can open only one at a time, or multiple simultaneously. Ensure the correct icon is used for both the expanded and collapsed states.

Single Open

Only one section can be open at a time. If a closed section is opened, the existing open section closes automatically. When a new section is opened, scroll to dock the open section at the top of the screen.

Multiple Open

Multiple sections may be open at once. When a new section is opened, scroll to dock the open section at the top of the screen.
