The Accordion Tool allows you to add an expandable/collapsible list of items with associated content to your website. Users can click +/- next to the items to reveal or hide the content. This reduces the need for scrolling and helps conserve space on your website. A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section with questions and answers is one example of an effective use of this tool.
