Collapsible sections in SharePoint are finally here!

In case you missed it, SharePoint recently released a fantastic new feature – collapsible sections on SharePoint pages. Previously, this was only achievable via custom code, but is now possible straight out of the box to help you more easily organise content on a page.

When creating pages and adding content, all visitors to your page see all information on the page in its fixed location. However, when you have lots of content, this means that users need to scroll down the page to find what they are looking for.

Collapsible sections allow you to expand and collapse sections of a page, meaning that users will no longer need to scroll as much!

How to create collapsible sections

1. On your SharePoint page, go into edit mode by clicking “Edit” in the top right hand corner

2. Then either add a new section or click the edit icon on an existing section

3. You can then edit the other settings such as showing a divider line between sections, icon alignment and whether you want to show the section as expanded or collapsed by default. (Making your section collapsed by default will free up extra space on your page).

4. Then give your section a name, save and republish your page
