Introduction

The accordion component lets users show and hide sections of related content on a page, to simplify the interface where necessary.

...

  • A Table of Contents and sections with headings can equally allow a user to skip to the relevant subset of content for their needs, without hiding it visually.

  • Tabs also hide and reveal content, but cannot be used when the content within each tab needs to be compared, because only one tab panel is visible at a time.

  • A ‘subtle’ accordion is not only less visually prominent but should not be stacked into multiple draws. This may be better defined and separated as a disclosure widget, but is effectively a single accordion. The behaviour of accordions and disclosure widgets is also often seen in hamburger menu items and other ‘expand/collapse via button' interactions.
