Expand/Collapse Lists

Description

An Expand/Collapse section is a vertically stacked list of headers that can be clicked to reveal or hide content. Expand/Collapse sections are useful for shortening long pages of content into broad, easy to scan topics. They are not useful if critical content would be hidden from a site visitor and only visible upon expansion.They are a good choice instead of tabs when you have a lot of items (three or more) or the items have longer labels, e.g. an FAQ section where the label is the question.
